What's New - June 2006
Click-to-play video ads
We've recently launched click-to-play video ads, a new ad format for sites in the AdSense network. Video ads may appear on your site if you're opted into image ads for one of the three ad formats that support video ads: the Medium Rectangle (300 X 250), Large Rectangle (336 X 280), and Square (250 X 250).
When a video ad is served to a page, it will be displayed as a static opening image. Once the user clicks the play button or the opening image, the video will begin playing within the ad space. If the user clicks the display URL at the bottom of the ad, or clicks the ad while it's playing, the user will automatically be taken to the advertiser's website. Users can control the volume and can replay the video if they choose; the video will not automatically replay.
You can choose whether to enable or disable video ads from appearing on your pages.
Color palette changes
We recently decreased the number of predesigned ad color palettes we offer to just six. Three palettes have been renamed (Seaside, Shadow, and Blue Mix) and three more are brand new (Open Air, Graphite, and Ink). We made this change to streamline the choices, getting rid of a number of palettes that don't typically perform well while also encouraging you to create your own custom palettes that fit better with the unique look and feel of your site.
No need to worry if you've used one of our older palettes in the past--it will still show up as an option in your account, but will simply have been moved to the Custom Palettes section of the color palette dropdown.
