Today when I accessed my blog, I noticed that Google is displaying ads based on popular queries in India like “Popular Lifestyle Queries in India, Popular Hobbies in India” etc in my sidebar ads. I noticed some other blogs too that are displaying these ads.
I had enabled image and text ads in the sidebar ads section. But now text and image ads are replaced with these new ads. This ad contains 11 links in it.
Recently Adsense team introduced a feature to customize fonts for the ads now they introduced new expandable ads for Adsense sites. Expandable ads are the rich media ads that can expand beyond the original size of the ad. Expandable ads can stream a movie trailer, show video game clips or display various views of an item for sale.
You will automatically receive expandable ads if you’ve added the Adsense code into your site. You need to enable image ads to receive expandable ads.
Worried about your Adsense earnings? Want to earn some extra bucks ? If yes, then you should try Adsense Calculator. The AdSense Calculator helps Google AdSense affiliates understand what affects their earnings by letting them experiment with values.
Most of the publishers place Google Adsense ads below post titles. They do so to get more clicks on the ads but this is not allowed as per Google Adsense TOS. That’s why most of the publishers get their accounts banned and they blame Google for it.
Google had made in clear in their Optimization Tips which says that Ads shouldn’t be placed under a title or section heading in a way that implies that the ads are not ads. Look at the screen shot below, the ad placement that is shown in this screen shot is not allowed.
