I was just conducting a few searches in Google this evening when I noticed that many of the AdWords ads were sporting tiny favicons. Favicons are the website icons that normally dispaly in the browser tab when a page is loaded. These website icons are being displayed, along the display URL in many AdWords ads.

They’re definitely more eye-catching and draw more attention to the sponsored, AdWords section of the SERPs.
I wonder if we’ll see these favicon website icons become standard in AdWords ads? More importantly, what impact will these have on click through rate, or even better, Google’s bottom line ($$$)?
Interesting stuff! Stay Tuned.//

Hi Liza,
I haven’t done a whole lot of writing for other search marketing blogs, except for a few things here and there. Thanks for stopping by though!
