Strange Adsense Unit Behaviour On My Blog

    Hello Everyone,

    Few months back when I started implementing text ads (adsense) on my blog, Solidblogger, everything went fine. But later when I thought of using some link ads, I made a link ad unit. I kept the links colour 0000FF and border/background colour FFFFFF to suit my blog template. But when I saw the actual ad on my blog, I got surprised. It was showing some odd colour combination. The link unit was black and the border was having some gray colour.

    Initially I thought that I might have done something wrong while creating the ad unit, so I tried to edit the ad unit again. But nothing happened. The link ad started appearing in that odd colour combination. After giving few tries, I finally gave up thinking that there might be something wrong in the template. And the ads are still appearing in that way.

    Today when I started adding the link units in one of my another blogs (with different template), I got taken aback to see that the same thing is happening here again. The link unit was having that same odd colour combination in spite of the fact that it was being served on a different domain, different template.

    Here is an image that can explain this thing better:

    I am not getting this thing and this is driving me nuts. Is there any problem with my adsense settings? Is there any problem with my host? Is there any problem with my blog settings?

    Kindly guide.

    Thanks in advance.

    strange...before i have seen the types of ads on my websites switch (from link unit to ad unit) without me doing anything

    i guess check your blog settings to make sure the blog isn't automatically setting the color layout of the entire page and affecting the ads. try making a brand new ad unit and see what happens with it

    if that fails then just contact google

    That's strange indeed, I haven't ran into that before. Have you checked to see if it's happening to other visitors to your site as well?
