Is Google testing something?

This afternoon I do a search and suddenly found the Awords slots and charaters are much larger than usual. I tried searching directly from China using both Chinese and English interface, and also tried via a HongKong IP, the results are the same - bigger Adwords ads.

I grabbed some screenshot for you to take look at. My screen res is 1024x768

Possible someone or a few people complained not enough charectors fit in the box used and adapted from the US adwords. Check to make sure you fonts still the same size, with my scrolly mouse and a control key I often make the fonts HUGE :P

Good find, first time i've seen adwords in chinese fonts :D

I didn't change anything with my browser when the bigger ads were found. Judging from the natural results on the left, the font size must be the default one. And I tried CTRL+MOUSE SCROLL to make the ads return to its former size, the characters of natural results would be too small. Definitely this is a new one for Chinese Adwords.

I noticed the same thing with Japanese adwords- thought it was just me!

Much bigger fonts, ads really stand out.
