Adsense code: Any idea how this is done?

I ran across a website that is obviously designed to earn Adsense revenue. It appears to use a script to "animate" the ads (although it also moves or animates the page links as well).

Check it out at: Military style secrets | Fashion, Style, Girl, Trend, Attraction, Beauty, Design, Novelty, Show-business Now scroll down to the ads just under the large image. Notice how these ads (and page links) move up and down.

Does anyone have any idea how this is done or what script might do this?

    I did not see any adsense ads on that page. hover over the ads and you will see the network. They also seem to have some native ads running

    Thanks for the reply. Yes there is a lot of ads from ContentAd (native ads) but the ones that I was interested in are the 728x90 ads just below the large image. Hover over the upper right corner and you will see "AdChoices" which are Adsense ads (click on that link and you are taken to Google Adsense.

    Again, notice that these appear to be animated (they jump up and down). This is what I am asking about.

    I see it now, the whole section goes up and down. Very annoying, why would anyone want to do that. You go to click the ad and it moves right when you click and the click does not happen because you end up clicking blank space, boy that is a great strategy, don't get your ads clicked and piss off the visitor all in one shot

    Haha, I see what you are saying. Actually I had noticed this on a few sites lately. The idea is to try to click on the numerals (the page links) and you will wind up clicking on an ad instead.

    I tend to doubt that this is Adsense approved, just thought it was an interesting technique.

    I see what you are saying, I was looking at it from the other perspective, that of clicking the ad. I would think this could jeopardize your adsense account. Because there would be a high bounce rate from people. Google could look at this as people just clicking ads. They probably will ban account for "Click Fraud"
