Strange new google Adsense ads spotted

I just spotted some strange looking Google AdSense ads on the blog today.

Here’s the screenshot, and here’s the full screen.

I use the large rectangle ads (336×280 pixels) beneathe each post. Today instead of the large rectangle I spotted two square ads or similar. There were four ads and they appeared well positioned with enough space padding in the larget rectangle space.

I couldn’t find the new formats listed at the official ad-formats page nor did I see any official notifications.

This may be a new trial run from AdSense unless if I’ve not missed any latest news from Google.

Anyway the ad looks like two small squares appearing in the large rectangle ads I’m using.

    Hi Mani

    I too noticed these today. I wanted to centre my google code and I thought I had messed up google when I saw the block of two up and two down so I removed the centering code.

    I realise now that this was not my doing after all!

    That’s odd. I noticed navigation arrows beneath a large rectangle on one of my sites earlier today. I guess they’re testing out new formats/features.

    Looks like Google is experimenting with the 250X250 space? As in the traditional button ads?

    Google is at it again with their changes. It’s funny how they NEVER talk to the members first.

    To be honest even I think it is a one off issue… even if it isn’t I am at a loss to know how it might affect the performance of the ad spot … I doubt if it will have a major impact on CTRs.. hopefully am wrong.. :)
