Ya cool. I have also seen an AdSense unit which runs horizontally a great deal. I have tried to search it around but could not tweak it. It is visible on labnol.com

Looks way better I think, more attractive, elegant maybe

It’s definitely good to see that Google is trying out new ad formats and providing more options.

At least they are trying out new formats. Could be worse i suppose!

Has anyone found a GoogleAd to actually be useful? I’m talking useful to you as a consumer, not as a problogger looking to make money.

My problem with GoogleAds as opposed to conventional advertising is that I’ve never clicked on one and actually found something that didn’t seem like either spam or a scam (sorry to rhyme). Now, I haven’t clicked on a GoogleAd for about half a year (I’ve been trained not to), but it still seems to me that there is no actual value in them. Perhaps it’s just the ads I happen to see.

Thoughts?

I am not a fan of this ad. I think that square units are kind of ugly unless they are small. I wish that Google would try a little hard to have more flexibility in ads. I have a hard time finding one that really works with the other ads that I have. That is always the trouble though. I am about to just scrap them all and start over making sure that I do not put anything that looks bad in the ad space.

My Google account rep told me about this, but I’m still waiting for it to be rolled out to my account. Hopefully soon. Much easier than changing theme code.

@BW: I saw one of the scrolling ads today. It looks pretty good, and the scroll-arrows match the title links well.

As for the new unit… It looks kind of odd. I wonder, though, if it may help combat ad-blindness.

I’m still waiting to see one of the new scrolling ads – or have they stopped those already.

Any way, this sixe looks pretty good to me.

It’s a shame that you can not specify your own dimensions – this would make customizing for a particular blog, much easier.

Looks nice and different…

Maybe people will be clicking on those ad units more then on the old ones…

Just my 2 cents…

Not impressed by the looks at all.

It’s a pity that Adsense has not kept up with Chitika and the other leading companies when it comes to designing attractive PPC ads.

Saw the new Adsense format yesterday too here: http://www.pinoymoneytalk.com/2007/12/17/new-adsense-ad-format/

I wonder when Google will officially make it an ad unit?

I like the ad. Each blog layout is different so the more styles to choose from the better. You can make your ads work for you not just adsense.

Instead of experimenting with new layouts, why don’t Google just let publishers customize the ads themselves? Beats a whole lot of work from them and makes the publisher a lot happier.
