How to blend ads with my page?

Discussion in 'Placement / Reviews / Examples' started by satishtalim, Jun 10, 2005.

    I don't know much of html/css. I want to blend my Adsens ads with my page. For example, I want to blend my Adsense border with the page background color. How can this be done?

    Here is what I do, visit your site. Then, press F11 on your keyboard and then to a print screen (it is a button somewhere on your keyboard). Open your photo editing program (Photoshop CS etc...) and create a new image and paste the screen capture. From there, open to your google adsense account. Using the color select tool, click on various colors surrounding where your ads will be placed. This should give you the necessary hex code (something like #ff0000) or something. Copy and paste that into your Google adsense account, whether it is the border etc... and voila!

    You may have to tinker with the borders etc...

    Alternatively, Firefox has a nice extension that has now eliminated the use of photoshop for find colours...

    If you want, use Firefox and use this tool http://www.iosart.com/firefox/colorzilla/

    Very good and no software needed to be installed onto your OS that may contain spyware.

    Could it be a problem to use other colors which are not specified in adsense color palette?
    For myself I'm content to work with the (limited amount) of colors from the adsense program.

    No, it isn't a problem, all you need is the hex color codes.
