New AdSense Ad Style In The Works or A Bug?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by timallard, Dec 4, 2007.

    I just saw a very new looking ad style on one of my sites. It only appeared for a few impressions, and then vanished.

    I was not able to capture a screen of this (sorry!), but it looked remarkably interesting. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

    I noticed it earlier today. It didnt even look like adsense to me, but it had to be as I only had adsense on those pages. This was ONLY in the wide sizes...e.g 728x90, banner units.

    Thoughts?

    We can't talk about what we didn't see right?
    Try to catch a screenshot.

    It honestly seemed like a new font with graphical accents in various colors. It was really strange. I was monitoring on a computer not my own so I could not capture it. But it did look good...I will keep my eyes open and hope to get a screen of it.

    hmm, it might have been an image ad, the advertiser cleverly made it look like a text ad so he can get 4 sales pitches in :D

    If you can screen capture I'd love to see it, otherwise I guess I don't have much to discuss. I don't use Adsense anymore anyway, but the ads ARE very bleak looking and don't have much chance of click-throughs anymore - they have no appeal to click them and most people recognize and avoid them now. A new design would be interesting.
