Change Font Face of the Text in AdUnits (New Feature in Adsense)

[kks_krishna]

HI,

I think adsense team has done with the experiment. Finally they have released the different fonts for the adunits.

You've been asking for more control over the appearance of the ads on your sites, so we're happy to let you know that you can now change the font face of the text in ad units on pages in Latin-character languages. You can choose between Arial, Times, and Verdana font faces. Please note that while font options will appear in every account, they'll currently only be applied to ad units on pages primarily in Latin-based characters.

Post your opinion about this change. Will it increase the CTR?

I think it's a good choice to improve the blending ads into content. It will make our ads more looks like original content

But, everything should be applied and tested within a week to see if the new improvement could help us increased our CTR. Anyway, it looks promising.

[kks_krishna]

Yes...If we can change the font size also that will be great

I have already implemented. I could see the different in the font and look and feel. I have to wait for the results. If anyone see the better results, please post it here.

Something I always wondered about. Sometimes my google ads change font by themselves. Even before this new features, some ads would have a clearly different font from the other units on the page. Anybody noticed that before ?

[kks_krishna]

I have noticed things like that. Even they had some problems like putting different adunits by mistake. It is ongoing tests by adsense team. so, we would see some strange behavior sometimes.

I'm spoilt for choice, wow

Nice find though.

This is nothing great. Those text ads are crappy no matter what the font family is.
They can only blend well in a 90s design.
Let's hope for some gradients, buttons, etc.

If you are sure of this, can you please let us know which other changes we can expect in the coming days?

[kks_krishna]

If I know that then I would be in Google
Since global economy is down, google also facing the presure of less revenue. They have to way to increase the revenue.

Their are just 2 new fonts, and they look a bit crappy. I think that their will be more fonts coming soon.

Oh Great News... I am going to do something change at once now lolx

Standard and Verdana look identical. The old standard WAS Verdana. Looks like it still is.
Ariel is a nice additional choice.
Times looks terrible. It is too small, and the serifs look muddy, and harder to read.

So, no change for me. Verdana it was, and Verdana it is.
