hello, I searched all over the forums for why this problem exists... my ads won't display the colors that I set for it for some reason... here are the details: google_color_border = "CCCCCC"; google_color_bg = "CCCCCC"; google_color_link = "B19165"; google_color_text = "FFFFFF"; google_color_url = "808080";
Was this code generated by adsense CP? Try clearing your browser cache. Post the full code, it would be helpful.
yeah it was generated by adsense. I tried clearing the cache, but it still doesn't work. I even viewed the ad on a separate computer. here's the full code: <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; google_ad_width = 160; google_ad_height = 600; google_ad_format = "160x600_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel ="XXXXXXXXXX"; google_color_border = "CCCCCC"; google_color_bg = "CCCCCC"; google_color_link = "B19165"; google_color_text = "FFFFFF"; google_color_url = "808080"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> Code (markup):
I have read if you make your color selection so there is not much contrast between background and text say to try to hid the line Ads by Google, that Google overrides your color selection. I do not know if this is what is going on here or not. The "808080" and "CCCCCC" are both shades of gray so lack of contrast may well be the problem.
Actually, I'm having a similar problem. I'm attempting red (#CC0000) link text on a black background, but the red is showing up as a lot lighter than my own links - closer to pink when it should be true red. I've got an email in to Adsense support but they haven't responded yet.
But what color is the background of your site? The Google URL cannot be blended into the background. The code won't allow invisible Google URL's even if the text font is dark. Until you change the color of the URL, the code will ignore your other colors.
it has no problem displaying the color that I want of the url, just the description and title. well, it's alright. I'm going to email adsense to see if there is a solution
