Was surfing along on another site (Consumerpedia) and this Google AdSense ad caught my eye (picture of which is below).
Notice the first ad unit. On the actual ad, when you click a selection it changes which ads are displayed within the existing ad unit format.
The text box allows you to essentially tell Google what type of ads you want to see displayed.
Assuming that Google is tracking all of this, this is so very cool in that it permits the user to help Google better determine which ads they should be displaying.
A Userdriven element to Google Adsense?!
Is anyone else seeing these anywhere?
UPDATES: rustybrick points to Google Beta Tests New AdSense Ads - looks like this is something that has been testing since this January, but it does look like they are stepping up the test in that I am now finding other recent reports such as: Anomalous AdSense Ad with Search Box - The Search Engine Marketing Weblog that points to 1871 Media, LLC.
