Font Styles - Size and Face - using Old AdSense Code

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by medusa, Sep 10, 2009.

  1. #1
    I am a fan of the old AdSense Codes. They are user friendly, as far as I am concerned.

    Recently AdSense gave options to change the ad font size and styles with the new codes. Is there an equivalent with the older codes for this? Any geniuses have tried this?

    Would be delighted have some insights into this.

    Thanks!

    I've set a default account wide setting to the old smaller font size and arial family. It works better for me. Suppose you need to match the text size of your content with the ads..it's all about blending in.

    Thanks, but that's not what I was looking for.

    Older code (before the introduction if Ad Slots) was something like this:
    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
    google_alternate_color = "FFFFFF";
    google_ad_width = 160; 
    google_ad_height = 600; 
    google_ad_format = "160x600_as"; 
    google_ad_type = "text_image"; 
    google_ad_channel = "xxxxxxx"; 
    google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; 
    google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; 
    google_color_link = "0000FF"; 
    google_color_text = "333333"; 
    google_color_url = "555555"; 
    google_ui_features = "rc:6"; 
    //--> 
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script>
    Code (markup):
    Now, for the new code, there is an ption to change font size and face. What should we add to the old code to get the font change functionality?

    Is it something like
    google_font_size = "Small";
    google_font_face = "Times";
    Code (markup):
    etc?

    I have tried a few combinations, but they did not work... Anybody to throw light on this?

    How about you change your code to the new one? Tampering with the adsense code could result in having your adsense account banned. Read the ToS.

    When using the old code, you are allowed to make changes that could be made via the Adsense web interface (selecting channel, colors, etc.).

    the options are in show_ads.js.since in your account you can only create the new code,they're not going to updating the old javascript.

    Just puttering with this again today. I found that

    google_font_face = "arial";

    worked fine, changed the ads from Times (my account default) to Arial.
