I saw some of these on vertical leaderboards on my forum site. To be honest I would be surprised if these would convert better. It’s not so intuitive (to me anyway) that the ads will change when you click on them.
I noticed them too on my own blogs and wondered where those links came from. TBH, it sort of annoyed me as the floating text in the middle of nowhere looks rather lost!
