I see more premium ads today and one of them has 3 in the premium area. I mean over the free serps by "premium".

I'm seeing this test at least a dozen times a week now.

Starts to make one wonder if when it'll go from a 'test' to a slowly integrated format.

Over the free serps on the left side?

I've seen the side ads move up (a la Yahoo), but I don't strictly consider them "above the SERPS" even though they technically are. The 3rd positions on the right don't really count as a premium spot in my book.

The test I'm referring to is three premium ads (the long colored ones) above the SERPs. It doesn't include the top one on the right.

At first, I started taking a few screen shots of these, but it because common enough, think I just have a few left now.

Always fun to screen shot the possibilities. Sometimes one can look at what Google didn't implement through their testing to see how it might work/not work on another site.

I have seen this quite often as well over the last week or so...Ever since adwords implemented their new algo change the last week of June.
