Google AdSense logoGoogle is testing a new form of ads where the ads animate and reform themselves as you place your mouse cursor over them. It is a form of animation within the Google AdSense ad formats.

Are you surprised Google is testing this with Google AdSense? Do you like them? Will they increase click throughs? Will they slow down web page load time?

I have not been able to replicate these myself.
