    Default Adsense getting funky!

    SURPRISEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

    Google is adding cute little graphics to your adsense ads!! I first discovered this on my site and then poke around and sure enough it is now live.

    Check out the tail end of the second ad.



    Now on an AdSense ad format near you: shopping carts
    Starting today, you may notice some AdSense ads displaying the Google Checkout shopping cart badge alongside the ad title. These small icons identify ads that link to sites where shoppers can buy via Google Checkout. The addition of the Checkout badge makes it easier for people to find sites where they can use Google Checkout's quick, easy and secure checkout option when making a purchase.

    BUT WAIT ... THERE'S MORE ....



    In addition to shopping carts on AdSense, we're also introducing new badges on ads that appear in Google search results. We hope you enjoy these new additions to our ad formats. It's another step in our ongoing efforts to enhance the experiences of AdSense publishers, AdWords advertisers, and visitors to your site.

    I suspect that the top version with the little cart will generate some serious clicks - I just about got caught. The second version is tough to say. As I don't have / use google check out I would probably not even go to the site because I already know first hand they only accept "google checkout" which is not a currency I use. Hard to say how this will work out ... BUT on the flip side I think google is giving us hints on how to promote better CTR ... :twisted:

    True aswell as any other site using a different checkout method ... Google obviously thinks the cart graphic is a good idea - hmmmm

    Ohh Well, but you may want to check out as the sites usually accept more than one Payment methods..

    Plus as I felt, Ads with extra information (Like little Shopping cart or blue button), attracts visitor's attention (due or undue)..

    I also noticed that some ads on my sites are suddenly italic (but they were not before).
    Its not the best thing for those publishers who try to blend the ads in as these changes ruin this strategy.
