Use a font of your choice with AdSense

Posted by Martin Frönmark on February 21st, 2009

For now, just log into your AdSense account, select the My Account Tab, then Account Settings. Under Account Settings select Ad Display Preference and you’ll see the dropdown for selecting a preferred Google Adsense font.

Google has opened up the possibility of choosing between Arial, Times and Verdana for one’s AdSense ads. That’s good progress. I think the standardized display is a weakness of AdSense/AdWords. It makes the ads less interesting. So this is a step in the right direction. Now they should also figure out a way for the advertiser to have a bigger influence on the formatting of the ad.
