Adsense setup and front colour

One of the more commonly
requested features that I see
AdSense publishers making is for
the ability to be able to change
font size in their ads.
The AdSense blog today
announces this change:
“The font size you choose
will be applied to the body
of the ad, with the title
scaled appropriately. In
order to fit the ad text
correctly, the actual font size
will vary for each format
size, font face, and user-
specific settings such as
browsers and operating
systems. In addition, some
formats sizes currently have
very limited room, so the
font size application will be
most apparent in cases
where the number of ads
appearing in your ad units
varies automatically in order
to maximize your
performance.
Your ads are currently set at
the default size for AdSense,
which is the equivalent of
‘ small’. You can select a new
font size on an account-wide
basis in the Ad Display
Preference section of your
My Account tab, or on an
individual ad unit basis for
new and existing ad units.
If you’re creating new ad
units, you can choose
between the AdSense
default font size, your new
account-wide font size (if
you ’ve selected one using
the instructions above), or a
separate size. To update
existing ad units you ’ve
created using the Manage
Ads feature, visit the
‘ Manage Ads’ page under
your AdSense Setup tab.
Any font size changes you
make on an individual ad
unit basis will be maintained
even if you change your
account-wide default in the
future.”
Also announced in the post is
that the default size for ads will
soon be automatically increased
from ‘small’ to ‘medium’. This is
due to testing that they’ve done
which shows that larger size is
performing better.
