Themed ads in Custom Search
Friday, September 10, 2010
Last year, we took a big step forward towards improved customization of the look and feel of results by providing
plug-n-play themes
in the Custom Search
Element
. This allowed people to select from among a palette of predefined styles. You can find a style that matches your website and deploy search, or
further
customize the style if required.
Today, we’re taking themes one step further. Each theme now has ads rendered with a different look and feel to match the overall style used for the search results.
The outcome is harmony between search results and ads, which we think makes for a great user experience. The following screenshots are examples of search results and ads rendered with three different themes -
espresso
,
minimalist
and
green sky
.
We hope you agree that your visitors will enjoy themed ads. As always, be sure to send us your
feedback
.
