ugly ass christmas images

damn..........couldn't even use clear gifs?

 

That's horrible

I wonder why they wouldn't use .gifs?

 

All the publisher need to do is change the ad background to white.
#FFFFFF will do the trick

 

Still ugly!!

 

Is the change available only for US publisher's?

Because i set these Ads option ON but the ads are same,no christmas background for me

 

Yeah, even on my christmas site I don;t see these banners...
Any special size? Has anyone seen them on 468's?

 

That would be exactly why I didnt turn them on. If they think thats attractive and will actually make people click more, then Google needs to fire their graphics designers.

 

i think in exchange for such shitty design they should give us a week where all the ads say "CLICK HERE! CLICK HERE! HOT TITTIES!!!!"

 

Wow. It's been way too long since I've been on here.

Is that something that Google is offering you when you create your code?

 

These are new Christmas Ads which are not working good

 

I can see them on leaderboards and cube

with the leaderboards they fixed the white background thing.

 

I just turned them off

 

I have a lot of christmas pages (one example) but have yet to see any of these themed ads show up - kinda puzzling (?)

Update: Crack me up - so I clicked on the link in the post to make sure I had the URL right ... and NOW/FINALLY a themed ad shows up. Yea, these look like crap - changing Adsense settings now ... ;-)

 

lol those pics look awful

 

they are pretty bad. I'd thought they would have taken on the same design as already on sites rather than going the 'blue' design. On my sites with red links and design they look terrible.

The only up side is I've noticed a higher CTR today. I'm not sure it's worth it though - while I like the idea of the background images the design they've got totally changes the vibe of the whole page that they're on and really cheapen things.

Come on Adsense - you always advise blending ads in and you do this!?!

 

ugly ugly ugly

the light blue border is SICK

 

Well... everyone seems to be complaining about how ugly the ads look... but you must admit that when you go to a page they sure catch your attention... I wonder if this will actually help CTR

 

Hi

good in white backgroup
its need to make transparant images for themas so all bg color display Good

 

i adjusted my bg to white and it is so much better now

 

Strange, for me the bg was changed to white automatically, when a Christmas ad is shown.

Another strange thing is, that the themed ads are not shown all the time but only every 3-4 pageviews it seems. Maybe this too will help the CTR... I'll leave them on and try them out for a day at least.
