I’ve just had emails from a number of readers who are reporting seeing a new type of AdSense ad appearing on their blogs – ads with little arrow buttons on them which rotate ads.
Here’s how they look (buttons circled):
When you click the button the ad ‘slides’ up and down. I’ve also seen some where the ads slide sideways back and forwards.
Thanks to Alex and Collin who were the first to alert me.
Update – see them in action with the following video screen cast of the ads:

Lastly – they seem to be split testing on some blogs between this type of slider ad and a ‘show more’ link at the bottom of ad units. Both effectively do the same thing – ie show your readers more ads.
