Today we launched Google Gadget Ads, customized "mini-sites" that run
as ads on AdSense publisher websites. These ads are interactive,
engaging, and will appeal to your users, simultaneously providing value
to advertisers while getting visitors to stick around your site. The
end result is that advertisers get more engaged users, users have a
richer ad experience, and publishers opted in to image ads may see
increased competition for their ad space.What does a gadget ad look
like? We're glad you asked. Below is a gadget ad that we've built to
advertise our AdSense program.Gadget ads can take a number of shapes,
sizes, and formats. If you're interested in seeing other cool gadget
ads, you can check out our Google Gadget Ad Center. Also, please rest
assured that gadget ads must adhere to our editorial policies, so there
won't be any distracting "punch the monkey" ads.Ready to start
displaying gadget ads on your website? While there's no guarantee that
they'll appear on your site, you can increase the chances that they'll
be shown by making sure you're opted in to image ads and using one of
the image ad formats. Please note that the most popular sizes for
gadget ads are the rectangle, leaderboard, and skyscraper formats.Also,
keep in mind that there are a few things advertisers look for when
targeting their ads to specific sites.Got questions about gadget ads?
