Google Officially Changes Look Of Many Ads

Google has officially changed the look of AdSense ads and the most prominent type of AdWords ad, and the change isn’t going to be perfect for everyone.
First, Google has initiated the change in AdSense it has been working on for a while, removing the “Advertise on this site” link, moving “Ads by Google” to the bottom right-hand corner, and giving it a nicer graphical look. Here’s an example of the new look, via Google’s AdSense blog:

It appears (based on my own ads) that if your ads do not have a border, then the slightly skewed area over the “Ads by Google” logo does not appear, either. Jason wonder if this is sort of evil, since it sacrifices transparency in the name of higher ad click rates. I wonder if there actually are higher ad click rates.
Do you think you can do better than Google’s design? […]
