Was just catching up yesterday after my break but had to do a double take at this:-
Looks like Adsense have come up with yet another new ad layout, that big header blends in very nicely! Of course every company is always looking at how it can improve things but I doubt that it’s coincidence that since Google altered the clickable area of their Adsense ads that they have been experimenting with many more Adsense ad layouts. Certainly the example above tends to borrow very heavily from the styling of the page, when I first saw it I thought something had gone screwy with my WordPress and part of a post was being inserted at the top. Whilst in the long run this is bound to be good news (Google will stick with what works best after testing) it does go to show what little control we have over the Google ads on our pages. If you’re one of those people that likes to have total control over the look of your pages then Google Adsense is definitely not the way to go!

Isn’t that just someone (or you) who’s changed the colour of the ads? Or are you saying it happened automagically? Or are you trying to say something completely different?

It’s hard to see exactly because I shrank the image but that ad blended exactly with my WP theme, same fonts, sizes, the whole lot. When it was on the page it looked exactly like any normal blog posting.
