An update has been made to Google Adsense. Now you cannot click anywhere on the text ad and go to the advertised site. Only the site name and link are explicitly click-able. The text in between is normal text. This saves the advertisers from fake clicks and bad traffic to their site. Though the earning might initially drop for several web publishers I think this is a good move by Google considering that they had to shell out $90million in a settlement case with an advertiser. But the image ad units are click-able throughout.
