Google Testing Sponsored Ad Label Variations
Briefly

Google is experimenting with various sponsored ad label designs in its search results, aiming for a more subtle appearance than the previous large labels. The new variations include "by," "|," "*" or ":" as separators between the sponsored label and site or domain name.
Brodie Clark, along with users on platforms like X, have identified and shared these variations, highlighting the ongoing changes in how Google presents sponsored content.
One of the variations being tested is 'Sponsored by', which offers a more descriptive look compared to traditional labels, reflecting a potential shift in advertising transparency on the platform.
The recent discussions in forums suggest mixed opinions among users regarding the changes, as they assess how these subtle modifications impact user perception of advertised content.
