    The last couple months or so I have been getting new fonts for Adsense ADs on a few of my more popular websites.

    Here is an example...

    Anyone else seeing an increase in CTR from this?

    It's proving to be a nice change for me. People are use to seeing the same old default Adsense fonts. I don't want to say the new font's trick visitors into thinking it's not Adsense but it's something "new" and they aren't just overlooked.

    It should increase the CTR.

    Hopefully, Adsense will allow us to choose the fonts! That way we can get some better site designs going.

    Hi,
    Yes I did, I think it's not so good idea or at least to let webmasters chose their desired fonts.

    Peace =)

    First I thought I did something wrong and it changed the font. I was really afraid - their TOS really headache!

    However, it don't use the font it's coming up - so that's not a good change unless Google allow us to choose the font.

    Oops I just started a new thread on the same topic.

    I think it sucks bad. It makes the AdSense ad stand out which makes it look like an ad.

    It still amazes me how people don't realize that to get good CTR the AdSense ads need to look like the site, not ads.

    I've also noticed some of the ads are indented more than normal to make them stand out even more.

    It's either a bad experiment or Google is trying to give the AdWords advertisers an edge against good AdSense strategy.

    I don't like it one bit, and it's costing me CTR.

    Peace,

    Herman
