A few weeks ago, Google finally gave AdSense publishers a way to specify the font type they want to show on their web sites. AdSense publishers were really happy with the added control and Google was happy to give publishers this level of control.
So why am I seeing reports that Google is ignoring these AdSense font preferences and overriding them with something else?
A WebmasterWorld thread has several publishers complaining that Google is not using the font they picked in the AdSense ad set up.
One said, he doesn't mind, because it helps against "ad blindness." But why give the publisher the option. If I set my preferred font, then use it. If I don't set it, then feel free to experiment.
One publisher said:
just curious whether anyone else has set up their ads with a fixed font, only to see them carry on changing.
i know it's probably just google testing the fonts again, but why are they carrying on testing them when they've already given us the option to change them
