Google AdSense has been busy testing new AdSense units this weekend, with two new formats spotted in the wild.

These resemble AdSense link units placed in the bottom of regular text ad units.
The second Google AdSense test is a “show more” link found at the bottom of Google ads. I found this at iBrowseHere.com , and here is a screen shot of it in action.
