When I saw these messages earlier today and saw that different people were getting different views, I thought maybe they were detecting message length or browser dimensions and putting the ads in different places based on that. But my limited experiments didn't validate that. I think they are just moving them to the bottom so that when they pop-in, the message text width is not affected. I have had messages where no ads showed up...guess they just weren't commercial enough subjects.
