Know your AdSense font

Posted on June 15th, 2006.

In today’s newspaper, we can see that ads are put on the first page and designed in such way that it will look like a breaking news. This will make the reader read through the article and until then, they will realize that they are reading ads. But in AdSense context, you cannot alter the way of the ads look like, in order to have the same effect. But you can alter you content, so that the ads don't look like ads. The colour blending is a well-known tip but to make the ads are really blended, you must also consider the font sizes. Every ad unit has its very own font face and size.

P/s: But for Ad unit 300x250, not all the time the unit is filled with ads. For a typical unit, four ads will be shown. But if your page is lack of keywords, the ad unit will no be filled completely and the font size will change. The colour code is depending on your Adsense colour code.
