New type of Ads?

Erm, i found this ad on my site, is this a new type of ad?

 

I'm not sure personally, I know that Google is starting to have interactive ads, finally.

 

maybe interactive ad.. i dont think that has started to me

 

yes they are going to serve that type of ads which can attract more visitors.

 

i hope that really helps attracting more people, then again I've not seen this type of ad yet. Maybe its for certain niches for now?

 

Seems new to me, it looks nothing like an ad really. More like an amateur decorating something with css borders.

 

Yeah they may be still testing this type of ads.

 

Yeah! it looks interesting & something change as compare to normal onez

 

I've never seen such an advertisement. Does it run regularly or did it just run that one day?

 

Yeah is it still on the website? Whats the url?

 

That looks nice. But I haven't seen similar anywhere.

 

I like it! It seems to be promising in attracting visitors.. Thank you for sharing that!

 

Google says they are testing new types of ads from time to time and see how they perform and then, they might use it generally - as the arrows next to ads - and tell their users about them.
Some notes about that here:

It's simply a standard ad made to look like a standard coupon, probably done with the new Google Adwords Display Builder...nothing more.

 

google put that picture inside the ad block?

funny how it's against the adsense tos for publishers to associate 1 picture with 1 advertiser, but google can get away with it.

 

I don't think so.. Maybe it is.

 

Does "Ads by Google" default text added inside any flash and image ad format?

 

this is the first time that I have seen it.

 

Can i know the URL please?

 

I hate big images quoted.
