Adwords now in Google Images

[shorebreak]

I just noticed for the the first time that AdWords ads are showing in certain Google Image search results. Has this been the case for a long time or is this new? I use Google Image search *fairly* regularly and have never seen it before myself.

I've never seen them (and still don't). Where are they appearing?

[shorebreak]

If you do a search for 'Lake Tahoe' or 'Audi A4', for example, the ads show up immediately above the first row of images.

Not seeing it.

must be something they were testing out, because its not working for me now.

I'm still seeing it, and it's not a spyware app or anything like that.

I saw a couple of examples six or eight months ago and mentioned it then, but have since not seen any of them.

I have been seeing this for some time now.

They have done 2 different layouts as far as I have seen.

Initially, I noticed 6 ads at the foot of the page. Recently they have changed it to 2 on top and 4 on bottom.

I haven't seen it but I don't think that it is a very good idea. Will ads on Google Images convert into sales?

Anyone know what % of Google searches are image searches?

[bakedjake]

If I had to guess, less than 5%.

shorebreak, what you are seeing is a limited test. A small percentage of users on Google.com will see AdWords text ads (identified as sponsored links) above or below the image results on a Google Image Search. At this time this is all the information that I have. :)
