Touch-ups for your ad units

Thursday, September 24, 2009 | 9:11:00 AM

Labels:

You may remember that last year, we added arrows to the bottom of cost-per-click (CPC) ad units. These arrows allow users to browse through additional relevant ads, helping them find exactly they're looking for.

We've been testing slight updates to the look of these arrows, and our experiments have shown improvements in the user experience. As a result, we'll soon be making a few minor aesthetic changes, including darkening the arrows to make them more visible and orienting all arrows to point left and right. In addition, to help users understand what the arrows do, hovering over the arrows will soon show the labels 'previous ads' and 'next ads'. You'll see these changes appear in CPC ad units in all languages gradually over the next few days.

I actually just used this feature today. I went back to a website to find the ad and it had changed so I used the arrows to find the one I was looking for. Great idea!

Forgotten what the action is called. But how about when you mouse over the arrows, the ad list moves up or down (like a photo slideshow).

Can you please help me! I loooooooove Google! :o)

My Adsense account has been taken over & I can't log in. Adsense is not displaying on my website either.

I'm 100% positive its been compromised (unless you guys deleted my account, which i doubt)

I've filled out the form via the automated system & entered my information.

Can someone please take a look at it and at least temporarily suspend it? I'm going to go ahead and guess the person who hacked it is using it for spam sites.

Adsense ID: theycallmeandrew@gmail.com
(i dont have access)

I can be reached at scottsharpejr (AT) gmail.com

I would REALLY love you guys if someone could look into it personally!

Last login was yesterday. (09/24/2009)

Thank you!!!

I hope the arrows get a whole lot darker. They're invisible now. My site had the arrows, but they've disappeared and my income has gone down since.

My site used to have a good variety of ads, but since the disappearance of arrows it's the same ol' same ol' ads.

How about fixing some real problems you are having with third party ads before playing with the cosmetics?

Since third party ads have been running I continually have ads for Bing.com/Local. I run a blog about Thailand not Tuscon, San Francisco or Minneapolis.

I guess I'll have to use all those extra competitive ad slots for Bing now!!!

I have noticed last week my adsense ads now have the arrows and from getting 2% click thru I now for the last week only one click. If this is going to stay this way it sure will hurt me.
