Adsense ads with Times New Roman and Comic Sans fonts
June 24, 2008
Tired of the usual Arial font for Google Adsense ads?
The wait is over. Adsense is now experimenting with ads using Times New Roman and Comic Sans fonts.
Here are screenshots of two Adsense units we’ve seen that displayed the text ad using Times New Roman and Comic Sans.
Have you seen them too?
The new fonts certainly stand out but whether they entice visitors to click on the ad is another story.
You, as a site visitor, will you click on an Adsense ad now that you’ve seen it written in a different font?
Recent changes in Google Adsense:
- Third-Party ads
- Google Adsense ad scroller
- Ads below misleading post titles
- Privacy Policy
- New ad format: 4-button ad unit
