AdLinks Color Selection Guide

    Hi Folks,

    I have recently been going crazy, trying to get my AdLinks Ads to display colors the way I want them.
    Here is why I went crazy, and the conclusions of my studies -
    http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/google-colors.3.gif

    Google gets MIGHTY LOOSE with its naming conventions, as is illustrated.
    Plus, no AdLinks Ad color implementation example is given.
    I think AdLinks may have been pushed through a little too fast.

    Notice how the data fields have "changed meaning" - the parameters they affect are not logically equivalent to their AdSense counterparts, yet no explanation is given. So I created one.

    Anyway, have at it.
    Is the drawing correct?
    If you find any errors in my little drawing, please report them here.
    I will fix them right up (after confirmation, of course).
    Thank you for your time and interest.

    If you disagree, please post an example right here, so that all readers here can easily view the source code, as well as the result. I am weary of trying to find a color combination that just "works", without Google shuffling the colors that I specify. What I specify is very contrasty and visible, so I just don't get it.

    Your illustrations look very clean, concise and accurate.

    I am not sure I understand the main point here, perhaps you could clarify?

    I am using AdLinks on a few of my domains now and they fit in real nice. I have not collected enough data to properly compare statistics but it really doesn't matter because nothing else fits.

    I'm pretty sure if there are any bugs they will be worked out.
