Previously I've mentioned that rather than using the AdSense gadget offered by times Blogger's Add-a-Gadget wizard, I commonly acquire ad-code from AdSense too every bit put this code into my blog every flake an HTML widget.
This gives:
- Access to a wider achieve of ad-unit sizes,
- Better ascendency over the gadget alignment,
- Ability to re-use AdSense's colouring cloth palettes that I've saved before
- Access to an "image ads only" option that Blogger doesn't have.
The downside that if I choose enabled a mobile template for the blog, thence visitors who hold back at it using a mobile device don't run across whatsoever ads. I did regain work-around for this, but it had a nasty side upshot if I wanted to add together together approximately other gadget to the template - too every bit that's a level for a different post.
Tonight I happened to hold back at the options inwards the Add-a-gadget > AdSense option again, too every bit was delighted to notice that the newer ad-sizes (eg 300x600 broad skyscraper) are correct away available there. I choose no see how long they've been at that topographic indicate - but I haven't seen it mentioned on whatsoever of the other blogs I read, thence see it was worth a elevator here.
This doesn't solve all my issues, but did mean value that I could role a standard AdSense gadget on a weblog where I was peculiarly neat to choose ane that filled the whole width of the sidebar.
Like they acre inwards Tesco - every footling helps!
Update: earlier long later I wrote this post, AdSense announced a novel ad-size (970 x xc pixels) - too every bit unfortunately it's non included inwards Blogger's AdSense widget.
