If you check out some of the really big sites, like Digg and About.com, you’ll definitely see custom-tailored Adsense ads – from font-size changes to different placements for “Ads by Google”. If I’m not wrong, it’s part of a special Adsense program for publishers with very, very high traffic.

An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
What I’m interested in is how Digg manage to change the font sizes of its Google ads.

ZMAng: Thanks for the info, tis a shame though. I’d like some control over the font sizes.
