While looking at my Adsense profit just now, I refresh the window for quite a few times to see if there is any update. Suddenly, the $ sign turned into USD, and I saw small message, which is “We have added one additional format for your text, image and video ad units”. Upon clicking on the link, I learn that Adsense has just added a few new formats for the ads. Here is the content.

The small square joins the ad formats family

We have added one additional format to the list of available ad formats: the small square (200×200). The small square supports text, image and video ads, so using this format when opted in to both text and image ads will enable you to show a wider variety of ads on your pages. To view the small square and all our formats, visit our Ad Formats page.

To implement a small square on your site, just follow our instructions. And while you are at it, take a moment to look at our ad placement and colour suggestions to be sure that you are using your new ad unit most effectively.

Demo:

Seems to be a good news to all publisher and advertiser. I’ve still not discovered yet about the change of the currency sign. It looks messy now as USD is much more larger than just $.
