Facebook tests new sidebar ad format with horizontal image above body copy

Facebook is testing a new format for marketplace ads in the right hand column of its desktop site. The new design gives ads an image that stretches across width of the ad and body copy that runs beneath it.

The layout is reminiscent of some of the social network’s new mobile ad formats, such as that for mobile app install ads, which also includes a banner above text. For now, this ad design is only appearing on permanent link pages for posts, not on News Feed, Timeline or other pages.
