Ad Styles – New Color Palettes

AdSense has introduced new customize option for the ads- Ad styles. This is in fact an enhanced function of the ad color, font and corner combination so the publisher would have more already prepared possibilities to save time.

It also provide another time devaluation possibility to apply a certain style on multiple ad units (even on all if needed) at once, instead of editing each one individually. The new ad styles will be available under the “My ads” section.

It is more of a modern fresh look that will encourage the users to engage more with the links (ads), as AdSense updated the page colors, fonts and banners.
