How to decrease or change font size of Adsense ads

If you haven’t noticed it yet, the font sizes of Google Adsense ads have now gotten bigger. That’s because the default font size of the ads is now “medium.”

Starting last week, publishers were given the option to change the font sizes from small to medium or large. A sample of how each size looks like is shown below.

Google Adsense ads: Small, Medium, Large

If you did not make any change yet, your settings is set to default. As we’ve seen now, the default font size of the ads is medium.

If you want to change or decrease the font size, follow these steps.

How to make a default font size applicable to all ad units

1. Log in to your Google Adsense account and go to My Account > Account Settings.
2. You will see the Ad Display Preference options. Choose from the drop-down menu the default font size you want to use on your ad units.
3. Click Save Changes.

How to edit the font size of an existing ad unit

1. Log in to your Google Adsense account and go to Adsense Setup > Manage Ads.
2. Look for the ad unit you want to edit and click the corresponding Edit Ad Settings link.
3. In the Fonts option, choose from the drop-down menu the font size you want to use for the ad.
4. Click Save Settings to implement the change.

According to Google, having medium-sized ads will supposedly help publishers get more income from the ads. In our case, though, there is no change yet in the performance of the ad before and after the implementation of the new font sizes.

What about you? Did the bigger font size give you more ad clicks and more online income?
