    Usually, the URL is displayed below the description of each advertisement.
    But in what looks like to be a new format, AdSense has placed the sites' URL above the description. WTF?

    No, man. LOOK AT THE AD FORMAT.

    The URL isn't under the description like it normally is.

    No, it isn't and it never has been until now.

    I think it might be a good thing though...it may work out to more clicks...will have to wait and see.

    I saw it on all of my sites + a few other AdSense sites last night, around 10:30 PM Pacific.

    They're doing it again!


    UPDATE: I tested IE, but standard ads displayed.
    In Google Chrome, the NEW format is displaying.

    It could be tests from adsense since they always try new things to see if it increases their eCPM, but it could also easily be a photoshop play from yourself :)
    Let's see if we read other people reporting this new format..

    Yeah seems like a temp test going on, but does it really make any difference? Let's see if it is to increase CTR or something.

    Just hope that the clicks increase with the new change. It seems more logical to put the url above description.

    It could just be an old Google Chrome format test or something.
    I didn't notice this work in any other browsers.
    By the way, it's not Photoshop.
    I have more important things to do with my time.
