Ever since Google acquired the rights to Picasa, they have put a large effort into featuring the photo software company on their own pages, much like advertisements. When the search engine first featured a link for the digital photo utility, traffic to Picasa increased by 6000%.
Now Google has begun including an ad-style Picasa banner on the result pages for their image search engine. The software is essentially a photo album that allows users to catalog, edit, and share digital images that are stored on their computers.
Picasa is a free download and an image of the ad appears below. Thanks to rustybrick for noticing Google's addition.
