Hi Everyone, I thought it might be neat to share with everyone a new adsense ad display I came across on one of my websites. It appears they are testing a bunch of different formats and this is just one of them. I've taken a screenshot which you can find below. Anyways what it lets a user do is click on the arrows and it scrolls new ads to the same position that the original ad box is in. This is a "Text" only 250x250 adsense square ad. As a sidenote about the screenshot anything that is in red was added in by me thats the red circle and red arrow. The rest is how the ad was originally. So... Do you think this would be effective in increasing CTR? Impressions? Will Google ever let us keep any of these different formats they are experimenting with? What are your thoughts?
Ya i saw something like that on DP also , the ads at the top right corner has scrollbars to find more adverts by clicking on left and right and right arrows over there...
I think that would be bad for adsense users because the user would have to scroll down to see the ad.
Relax yourself, this was posted 1am in the morning, unlike others. Also this another twist to this then any other version thats been posted being in the bottom left hand corner. Anyways, this is a discussion board, people can discuss the same topic in different threads if you don't like it don't read it unstead of flaming threads. Sheesh some people. This thread has been more intended for people discussing the effects these new formats can have on CTR and Impressions and such read the first post before you start flaming.
I've seen the "Show More" ad format, but this is the first I have seen this one with the arrows. I guess that as long as the ads are relevant, then we should see a slight increase in click throughs. Thanks Alex
