Adsense Now Offers Font Options

Adsense has recently announced a feature that would allow you to alter the fonts of the ads displayed in Adsense.  Now  Adssene allows you change the font face of the text in ad units on pages in Latin-character languages. For those who are like me scratching their heads over this phrase, following languages are included in Latin-character languages

* Croatian
* Czech
* Danish
* Dutch
* English (U.S. and U.K.)
* Finnish
* French
* German
* Hungarian
* Indonesian
* Italian
* Norwegian
* Polish
* Portuguese
* Romanian
* Slovak
* Spanish
* Swedish
* Turkish

There are only four fonts which you can use to customize ads on your webpages. You can choose between Adsense Font Family, Arial, Times, and Verdana font faces.

Font options will appear in every account but they’ll currently only be applied to ad units on pages primarily in Latin-based characters.

How Can You Customize Your Fonts?

To set a custom font as the default for all your AdSense for content units :

1. Sign in to your account.
2. Visit your My Account tab.
3. In the Ad Display Preference section, click edit.
4. From the drop-down, choose your preferred font and save your changes.

The font settings will be reflected in all your AdSense for content ad units shortly.

To set custom fonts for individual ad units:

If you’re creating a new ad unit, you can choose a custom font while generating your ad code. Alternatively, you can update the font for an existing ad unit, by editing that ad unit through the Manage Ads page.

1. Sign in to your account.
2. Visit your AdSense Setup tab.
3. If you’re making a new ad unit, choose AdSense for content as the product and continue to modify your settings. If you’re editing an existing ad unit, visit the Manage Ads page and choose your desired AdSense unit.
4. In the Fonts drop-down, choose whichever font you would prefer.
5. Make any other changes to your ad unit and save. If you’re creating a new ad unit, your font settings will be visible wherever you add the code for that unit. If you’re editing a saved ad unit, font changes will be visible on your pages in a few moments.

If you customize the font settings of an individual ad unit, changes you make to your account-wide default font settings will not be applied to that ad unit.

It is a good move by Adense and is entirely welcome. Only I wished they could have come with more font options like Tahoma, Trbuchet MS which are quite popular with webmasters.

Go! Make more money.
