Page is a not externally linkable - Google -- Google AdWords
---- Google testing displayed click counts on adwords ads

I see positives and negatives depending on which side of the
tracks you're on.  Would this not be some sort of extension to
the +1 button but for the PPC side?  Google is really an
advertising company. Just like all other media like radio, TV,
newspaper. Their product is not the entertainment or the news.
Their product is advertising. So anything they can do to
increase that, the better for them. Google is no different.  So
potential positive for Google in getting more people to click
those ads and getting more advertisers.  But as Tropical Island
points out, do we want competitors to know? Maybe a small price
to pay to increase our own clicks.  While I agree that many are
not aware that those are ads, there are those who know and
refrain from clicking them at all. Others I've talked to don't
click the side ads, only those above
