[Inside AdSense] Redesigned Text Ads on the Google Display Network

Web design is evolving at a rapid pace. With that in mind, today we're beginning to give our text ads a modern look designed to enhance their performance and the overall user experience.

Our new design puts a strong emphasis on readability. We've introduced larger and clearer titles, more generous white space, and a flat circular button design, which complements the colors of other elements in the ad.
We've also updated how we show multiple ads within a single ad unit. Our design, illustrated below, only expands a full view of other ads when a user interacts with an ad unit either by a mouse hover or touch.
Keep an eye out for the redesign and don't forget to try our recently launched new fonts. Let us know what you think of this new look over on our AdSense + page.

[Inside AdSense] Use AdSense on your HTTPS sites

Today, we're happy to announce that AdSense publishers can begin monetizing their HTTPS pages. Many websites, like e-commerce sites and social networking sites, use the HTTPS protocol to protect their users' sensitive data. If you have a HTTPS website you'll be pleased with how easy it is to monetize using AdSense.

To use AdSense on your HTTPS-enabled sites, simply create an ad unit in AdSense and then paste the ad code into the HTML source code of your page where you'd like the ad to appear.

HTTPS-enabled sites require that all content on the page, including the ads, be SSL-compliant. As a result,  our systems will remove all non-SSL compliant ads from competing in the auction on these pages. This means that if you convert your HTTP site to HTTPS, ads on your HTTPS pages might earn less than those on your HTTP pages.

Please visit our Help Center for more details on this feature. If you have a HTTPS-enabled website we'd love to hear your thoughts.

[Inside AdSense] Policy Refresher: content and copyright

Policy Refresher: content and copyright


For the next segment of our policy refresher series, we're talking about a topic content creators really care about -- content and copyright.


A major benefit of the Internet is that it puts incredible information and entertainment at our fingertips. It's important to remember, however, that if somebody else created it, you need their permission to show Google ads next to it. We've created a video to explore examples of content and copyright:

Still have questions? Submit your questions in this post via Google Moderator (please note: for privacy reasons, we won't be able to respond to account-specific questions). We'll be holding a Google Hangout on Air series covering this topic in more detail - check out the full schedule and don't forget to register.
