Google AdSense has just released a new feature for publishers to take advantage of. You can now have ROUNDED corners on your Google ads. It’s about time. I’ve had rounded corners on many of my websites for years. It seems like Google would have been a bit quicker in getting this to the assembly line but hey, at least it’s here now.

How do you use these new rounded corners? Easy. When creating your ad blocks, there is a new option called “Corner Styles”. Simply select your desired corner type from the corresponding dropdown menu:

As with previous AdSense options, the corners may or may not benefit you. You’ll have to experiment with them and see if they work well for you and your site. Also, if you are like me and have blended backgrounds in your AdSense ads, you won’t be able to take advantage of the new styles unless you add a border color that is different from your ad block background color. I actually changed some of my ads here to see how the new style works out.

Just another reason why AdSense is still the best. They are constantly adding new features. I’m looking forward to seeing what they have up their sleeves for the next update!
