I was checking one of my sites and found that strange ad format IT is 468*60 text ad with additional 4 clickable links Damn, I couldn't even check what will show if i click one of those links (wish it wasn't my site) Sure they have something in test now Edit. Just wish to add that after I took the screen shot, clicked "refresh" and regular ad appeared
Yup indeed strange. I think the guys ad Google are testing the different format to increase click. People are getting familiar with the current format - thus making click becoming lesser and lesser.
This looks strange. I've seen a lot of web directories using links very close (right on top) of Google Ads, especially links like Sumbit your Site, so the Ads get accidental clicks but I think adding text very very close to Google Ads should be avoided as it may be against TOS.
how many times ppl keep posting the same stuff ? seen it atleast 10 times since last week. its got variations in the format the bottomline is the same. THEY ARE TESTING!
Good. I've seen it on the 728x90, but not the 468x60. (Eek, it shows how much I've fooled with them lately that I can remember those sizes without having to look them up.)
I've just seen the same ad format on another site that I don't own those links are link unit - every one of them returns a page with ads about that keyword So they are merging link unit into regular ad-units
