I don't think it did, but it has rotated out so I can't be certain. If I see it again I'll do the screenshot and see if it will reveal any URLs without clicking.

Thanks David.
We use a third party provider to backfill ads during slow times and we do our best to really trim them down to relevant ads, but unfortunately some slip through, hence our own "report this ad" system. Sometimes 3rd party ads simply don't appear in a form our system can spot. We had a meeting on this issue today and Yuriy's going to dig in and beef it up a little more.
Death to crappy ads.
cheers

Just sent an email with a possible malware infecter ad in the banner.
|
|
|
|

We got your email and removed the ad - thanks for that.
It was a WinZip ad. We were a little baffled (and saddened) at that. We thought they were better than that.
cheers

Baffling. Unless there is a small chance Google has a redirect misdirect between banner and add (which doesn't make sense either)? I don't know, and you probably won't either, but the fact that many searches for popular and useful software turns up links to malware _before_ the actual software's site doesn't give me great faith in them. Nor does the fact that without verbatim search on, it is almost unusable for me. (But with verbatim it is fantastic.)

How top 5 experts of day is calculated?
I think there is a bug.

The hamsters are given pieces of paper with names on, those that don't get eaten are picked at random.
|
|

Wrong! In that case we had no top-experts list...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

The system looks at the amount of Authority points you've gained within the latest 24 hours, and displays the people who have gained the most.

Can you provide some explanation about it please?
The quick red ProgramFOX jumps right over the Lazy<Dog>.

In the list I saw user with 165 points in top 5 and I found mine more than that But I'm not in that 
|
|
|
|
|
It's about the points gained in the latest 24 hours, not all time. Are you sure you have gained more than 165 points the latest 24 hours? And as Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter said, it is a cached list, so it takes some time before it's updated.

Yes possible that it has some cache or some delay in refresh.
Note:-
I have ~190 for 14/oct/2014 these are Authority points. if I count total for the day then it will be much more.

You need to earn Expert points, not just any points.
Answer lots of questions really well and you'll get points for the answers and points for when people upvote and accept your answers.

Are you sure that explains the section labeled "Top Experts in 24hrs"?

It is also a cached list - so it refresh a few times only a day and it possible that one who had place in it one point of time will not see himself because of when the refresh happening...
