Google AdSense Tests Alternative Fonts

Between refreshes on the same page, same adblocks, I'm seeing Times, plain serif, no serif, vanilla arial, big point, small point... what gives?

 

ya i too can see i have posted a screen shot regarding this also in my blog

 

Some well known blogs did mentioned that Google is playing around with text fonts for their ads, maybe that is what this is all about.

 

Yep, here as well. Including one very thin font (which genius thought of this?) and the beloved comic sans. Which is not funny.

I sense a certain desperateness at The Plex. Yet they do not offer tools to really beef up the revenues for Google and for publishers. Sad.

 

I don't care for the new font at all. We should have the option to choose any font we want displayed in the ads.

 

just saw them while testing some new ads... not for real.

anyone has a ps?

 

Hmm, that looks like a direct copy of a post at http://www.webmasterworld.com/google_adsense/3678466.htm

Yep, seeing it too. But my CTR is way up compared to this month average, so it seems to be working.
