Adsense now allows us to choose ad font:

Google adsense has announced that it will give the publishers a choice to select a specific font for the ads.It is in it's initial phase allowing us to choose from the following font styles:
1.Verdana
2.Times
3.Arial

To set a font as the default for all AdSense for content units :
Sign in --> My Account --> Ad Display Preference section --> Edit --> Choose font --> Save




If you're creating a new ad unit, you can choose a custom font while generating your ad code. Alternatively, you can update the font for an existing ad unit, by editing that ad unit through the Manage Ads page.

Get relevant ads by using Adsense section targetting:

Section targeting is a feature which helps the publishers to get the ads which are relevant to the targeted section (like post title,post body etc.).In words from Google, Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you'd like them to emphasize or downplay when matching ads to your site's content.

Let's see how to implement it:

1.Go to HTML editor of your site/blog.

2.Find this piece of code:
<data:post.title/>

3.Replace it with
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
<data:post.title/>
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

4.You will find at 3 places.Replace all those with the ones shown above (in step 2).

5.To implement section targetting on the post body (it's important), find this piece of code
<data:post.body/>

6.Replace it with
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
<data:post.body/>
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

This feature should help you in getting targeted and relevant ads.
