My Ads - MessySo I got these ads on The Search Engine Roundtable but I am having problems with one.

The Google ads have this hidden pixel for DoubleClick tracking purposes. It is a 1x1 pixel. The 1x1 pixel, 3 out of 8 times, messes up the ad layout. What do I mean? Well, when the Google ad is displayed in 3 of the 8 sections, the 1x1 pixel seems to push the other ads down.

Let me illustrate... X marks the spot of the ad location where the 1x1 pixel messes up the other ads. O marks the spots where the 1x1 pixel does NOT mess up the other ads.

If the Google ad is displayed in any of the X positions, then it messes up the other ads. I tried adding display none and absolute to fix the issue, but it did not work.

Any thoughts out there?

Otherwise, I need to have Google send me a different tracking technique - which is doable.

What is with the title? Not sure. I kept thinking... "Messy Pixel" and it reminded me of Trix for some reason.
