Zillow “expands” showcase ads

Zillow has upgraded its Showcase Ads to “expand” when you roll your mouse over them. It’s a standard display ad trick, but it’s new to Zillow. Expanding the add shows more content and can include a contact form for the Realtor. Clicking on the ad takes the visitor to the Realtor’s Web site. There’s no extra cost for the new ad format.

The Sellius blog is less than enamored with the expandable ad units. They cover up existing listings on the page, blogger Joseph Ferrara notes. He’d rather the ads appear over non-listings content.

Trulia also uses expandable ads.
