Noticed a selector in Google ads on my site

Is Google Testing something new?

[Mike_Werner]

On one of my sites I suddenly noticed yesterday for some 10 minutes (while I was testing) that in my leaderboard google ad a small prompt on the right of the ads.

The prompt was allowing the reader to change the ad by typing in a keyword, which then would fetch ads for that keyword.

First time I've seen it, and must say, I liked it. So not only is the ad first content driven, but then the user can get ads that interests them.

Have any of you seen this, or is this normal?

Yes I saw the same thing too on my site. Not just the selector but mixed (postage size) image ads with the text only ads which I'm subscribed to. I liked it as well and noticed clicks jumped yesterday.

Sorry if I violated the url posting... wasn't thinking and was trying to explain by showing what I was trying to talk about;... I've removed it..
