Is Google testing a new AdSense layout?

Is Google testing a new AdSense layout?

Yesterday I went through my reports generated by Google Analytics. Surprised by the amount of (IT?) employees (working in financial institutions all over the world) who regularly read me, I tried to search my posts against bank-related information.

First query (^G banki inurl:piko.jogger.pl) discovered a strange AdSense Unit under "Sponsored Links" section, showed in the picture below.

A second one, ^G inteligo, gave the same result. Both queries were performed on Opera Browser, so I thought: "Maybe it is Opera that fools around with me… Is it a CSS/JScript interpretation error?", but I got the same outcome using IE and Firefox.

Anyway, I haven't got a clue, one can play with an AdSense layout so deeply. It's a really catchy way of ads decorating!

You should also keep in mind, that the URL of the ad presented above is not connected with Inteligo – it's just a partnership programme. I wonder how big the commission is… (It's certainly big enough to cover a cost of the domain and Google AdWords programme)

An yet another interesting ad I was able to snap yesterday :-)

Update:
When we check HTML code, we'll be able to see: "███ Inteligo ███" set as a title of the ad. Anyway, it's still strange that Google allows people to do such UTF encoding tricks.

If anyone cares, what's the HTML entity for the symbol that the ad uses -- it's █ which gives: "█" on the screen.

A to nie jest przypadkiem sprytne użycie znakow ASCII przez marketing Inteligo?

nie przez marketing. po prostu - jakis posrednik inteligo byl sprytniejszy od przecietnego misia. nie zmienia to faktu, ze cala notka niezbyt odkrywcza ;)

to ja przy okazji powiem, że reklamy Gugla z lewej strony zasłaniają tekst.

AtoMan: I'll see what I can do about it. BTW, what's your screen resolution?

Tomasz:
This post indicates an "incoming revolution" -- we all know, how fast Polish guys are able to copy methods of their competitors, especially good ones like the ad showed above. (Although I'd rather consider this method as a spam).

Anyway, I think that the most interesting part of this case is NO reaction (or allowance?) from Google.

PS: This post was introduced to some of my international friends, who don't speak Polish. Please, use English (if possible) so that they can follow up the discussion. Tnx!

Oh my God :P I've thought, that it's not your jogg.

I suppose that popularity od this jogg teaches polish advertising companies new technics in creating AdSense ads.
Searching for "video" in polish Google (hl=PL) give curious result (?arrows?) in AdSense box on right side of page.
No such effect for english version (hl=EN).

Hmmm, maybe it's time to start a member-only section here? Pay by Visa, get one month of the subscription free! :-)

Rzuca się w oczy taki boks.
Zapewne odnotowali duży CTR.
