Yeah, I've saw something like that before too. I have no idea. I'm guessing they're breaking AdSense TOS by screwing with the javascript, but I don't really know (and I'm too lazy to go through the source to figure it out).
 
it's not that difficult, you don't even need to touch their javascript

"ads by google" is always displayed in the same spot, so create a div block with position: absolute and place it right above the "ads by google" part

how do you xplain the different ad block, never saw that before
 
I don't think they're using the div trick; if you view only the AdSense iFrame, you see that they don't have it in that either.

That's a good question. They're not doing anything to google's code, or putting anything on their page to cover up the "ads by google". Paste the code below (taken from their source) into a html file on your local computer or one of your domains... it displays just the same. So that ad layout is being provided by google. But look how their ads don't even line up right above the ads... it's like they don't even know what they're serving... weird.
Code: 
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-4747990555651046";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "008000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
 
Ah, I figured it out... notice the "google_ad_format" doesn't have the "_as" at the end of it... take that off on any of your ads, and the "Ads by Goooooogle" is gone.

Anybody want to e-mail their rep and ask how legal that is?
