Look at this advert for Google Desktop that I've just seen appear on the Google results page:


ruscoe.net/blog/uploads/google ...



Is that the biggest graphical advert they've ever had on there?

(For the full screenshot, view the file above but with a PNG extension.)

FYI, here are the original images for the UK:


google.co.uk/images/soccer_gdr ...



google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images ...



Interesting how they show a different score for each country/language:

USA...


google.co.uk/intl/en_us/images ...



France...


google.co.uk/intl/fr_fr/images ...



Germany get the best outcome though...


google.co.uk/intl/de_de/images ...



:-)

As I can remember, this is the largest <graphical> ad. It's been there for a while btw.

This is showing at the bottom of the SERP while making a search at Google in spanish (google.es/search?q=sample& ...)

They're just taking advantage of the world cup to let people know there are things beyond just google.
