Promoted AdWords Formatting

"Premium" AdWord has extra space

[jpjones]

I've just noticed that normal AdWords which are lucky enough to be promoted up to a premium spot have an extra space in the sentence. This is where line 1 of the AdWord runs into line 2.

E.g.

Buy#colourful#widgets#now##from#your#local#company

(where # = space, as the WebmasterWorld editor will not allow double spaces)

It does this for both premium positions. Having checked a relevant AdWord in the advert editor, there are no leading or trailing spaces.

I've only been able to verify this on my own computer so far - can anyone else see this? Now I've noticed it - it's bothering me!

Haven't noticed this specifically, but the creative specs for premium and AdWords are significantly different.

So far the Google reps haven't been able to provide an answer as to how the changeover to all AdWords will affect the creative needed movin forward.

Maybe they'll offer the ability to submit 1 creative for listings in traditional AdWords and a second that gets swapped in if the ad takes over the top spot?
