Google Adsense Testing Italicized Ad Blocks

Posted by Saad Hamid on March 1, 2007

Till now, Everyone knows that Google Adsense is testing new ads blending for the Adsense Ad Blocks which includes Ads having images of Google Logo or the 'G' logo and other similar things :)

But recently I came across this new type of Ads by Google Adsense in which they have introduced Italicized links.

First I saw these types of Ads on some forum but today I saw them on my own blog. Here is a preview from how the ads looked like on Sizlopedia

Google Italicized Ads

Truly speaking I 'loved' this new blending of Ads by Google Adsense and really want it to be a permanent feature in Google ads.

Moreover, making the links italic gives the Ads a unique and appealing look and I really adore it.

One more opinion that Google should consider too is that they should give Publishers the choice to have either bold or italic links but I think this would then eliminate the difference between Premium and Normal Publishers. I just have my fingers crossed for this new Ad blending to be a permanent part of the Google Ad script. :D

Hope to see new things from Google ;)

  • Honestly, I don't like it. They are killing their looks for the sake of money.

    Google just started Adsense as a contextual text ads company, but now they have everything! even Flash ads(which they promised not to do)

    Google's turning evil.. no doubt abt that.
  • Yes, I did even see it appears on my blog! I have no comments on the Italic style, but I like the logo G appearance! b/w Thanks for the new Tigopedia, this is the best theme I found on Wordpress!
  • When I first saw those ads, I thought there is some code open so they are in italics!

    Thilak,
    Beware! google might pull down adsense on your blog :P
  • @ Thilak - I do agree with you in the part where you say 'Google is turning Evil' but the new italicized ads are just cool :D

    @ Sharique - lol :P I love Google :D but they wont give me extra money on my adsense hehe
  • I like the italicized and the bold features :)
  • ahh!

    I noticed italicised links as per the image over at Connected Internet earlier today. Thought it was my eyes for a moment ;)

    I'd only be happy with the changes if you could choose between italics and ordinary.
