I’ve not come across any of those yet, but I love the idea of combining ad units with link units.

Haven’t actually seen one live but this looks interesting.

Perhaps another of Team AdSense’ experiments.

I can’t see them on both links you give… Is it different on each region?

Yup… I’ve already see that too in one of my site.

Maybe Google Adsense team want members to earn more that what normally they earn. Hope that it will bring much CTR to everybody.

Yes, they’ve been appearing on my blog as well. Here are the screenshots: http://www.aaroncook.com/2007/08/new-adsense-ad-units-spotted.html

I’m also noticing that when you hover over the links you see something similar to this:

javascript:gurl(’ChBGtsWPAAvTQo4U1MgRmVlZBvxCfEgtDigBSLTkrw4′)

I wonder how this will effect CTR. And are these paid clicks as well?

Shine on,
Aaron

This is interesting. When I first read the post I thought this was something that some Publishers are doing intentionally by messing with the adsense code, but after reading the comments it looks like this is a new type of ad unit that adsense is putting out. I checked my websites, but didn’t see these units, but I’ll definitely be looking to see if they show up, and if there is any change in the CTR.

If you have these kind of ad units, are they showing up only on link units or any kind of units? I’m curious.

I saw an ad like that this weekend. At first I thought the publisher figured out how to mesh the 2 ad formats.

Anything that improves conversion sounds good to me.

Haven’t seen them myself, yet, but I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled. They look better than the older ones, too in my opinion. :)

Google is trying to get the most they can out of the little space they have to work with- can’t blame them.

Yeah I posted about this yesterday:

Ted: Google does that on link unit when they can’t find any links to display. That way you’re not wasting space, and there’s still a (small) change someone will search for something from it. I’m not a fan of it either.

Interesting, I hope they provide many more options in the future in terms of sizes and customization. Its definitely the easiest to setup.

Ted: I saw that once on a website I was doing some spring cleaning for – I too was confused, and it is squshed as well, therefore dosen’t look too appealing to the design of the site – it was the typical code however, but nothing I could do would change it.

Has anyone else seen this?

Instead of Google text link ads with keywords, I even find that Google Adsense even put normal ads in its text links ads.

This is the one I found in my blog – http://www.earningblog.com/2007/07/16/google-testing-different-text-link-ads/ .

yes i had this ads two days ago, when you click on the links at the bottom new ads load in the same block, interesting experiment but i think people will likely click on the main ads and only 1 from 100 will think of sorting ads according to suggestions at bottom of the ad block.
