When a Twitter user goes to check out a person’s Tweets next, they might find an ad nestled in with this. These ads would be separated from the user’s Tweets and be labelled as “Suggested by Twitter”, reports Recode.

Twitter’s current tests limit ads to people that have already signed into the service. This is part of the company’s efforts to send targeted ads to users. The current tests are taking place on the company’s web and mobile platforms, Recode notes.

Twitter also recently signed a deal with Google (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) that has Tweets showing up in searches made with the online search service.

TWTR shares were up 1% as of Wednesday afternoon.
