New ad formats can be found in Google's Adwords arsenal. Mobile is increasingly becoming a greater platform for marketing with clear ROI. The new advertising formats through Adwords will only further the cause of mobile.

Microsoft places an even higher percentage--53%. Click-to-call is turning mobile focused ads into a clear and measurable system, allowing advertisers to justify mobile-specific campaigns easier.

New ad formats from Google include:

  • Custom Search Ads for apps
  • Click-to-call ads
  • Click to Download ads
  • Mobile App Extensions
  • Circulars
