new ad format?

See this image below

Can you see some links at the bottom of 350X250 ad?

what is that?




I do what type of links it is?

 

That is interesting, can you show the live link?

 

I noticed that too today...
strange thing...

 

Yes, I have also noticed it.

They are adding link units under current ads.

 

I noticed the new ad format on my website too. I got a screenshot of it and it is attached to this post.

I think it looks great. I'm sure it will help my CTR.

 

It looks really really neat! Can't wait for it to be officially launched

 

Agree. It looks like it can earn some good money!

 

Whoa, nice one!

 

Hopefully it will come out within the next month.

 

I received an infraction for starting this thread! subsequently this thread has been merged into another!


As far as the links are concerned they are javascripts and after clicking on it
ads will be refreshed!

 

i think it appears when you have no link units in your page..

 

I never saw that before..sounds cool..but I am not using any leaderboard....

EDIT - I just saw them on the square ads too...yippi!

But when will we have this?

 

Just noticed this as well. I almost clicked on one of those links to see wtf it was.

That's some crazy JS encoded string for the link!

javascript:gurl('ChBGtVrXAAAbgwqGswmjhSlkEg5Ib3QgV2FsbHBhcGVycxoIE3dYksg7MokgtOSvDigBSLTkrw4')

 

Yep just saw it on my site, looks very nice and would get lots of clicks.

 

i dont get it yet

 

hey Abhik,
thanks for the input.....

 

thanks for the info , when they gonna release this new ad ?

 

Think they are running some tests.
The strategy behind seems clear: more ads => less competition => lower PPC => happier advertisers (publishers might also be happy to make some extra $$)
Would adsense be having high CPC issues?? or are they just trying to grow the business?

 

I've also made a screenshot of this new type of ad:



Well, it appeared a few days ago, and it showed up only once..

 

Great! Google is thinking in us again
