    It should not be too difficult to make the Google ads integrate with the overall feel of the site. Orange borders, light orange background, consistent font, an non-bold links would make these ads even less obstrusive.

      That's what I was thinking. The gray doesn't blend too well as you said. Happy Programming and God Bless! "Your coding practices might be buggy, but your code is always right." Internet::WWW::CodeProject::bneacetp

        I disagree, the ads should stand out and be distinctive. That way it's clear that they are ads, and not part of the article. --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ ---- "Kosh reminded me of some of the prima-donna programmers I've worked with.

          I dont agree with you with this Micheal.... Not totally though. Look at other articles they look so transparent to the site. yeah, ads should standout, but should not sit on our face. :cool:

            Isn't the "Ads by Google" caption enough? Do the ads have to look crappy too? Distinctive look is one thing, but the way they look now is distracting and amateurish.

              Must say that now ith the orange border they look much more advertisy to me than before (I guess because all other ads are in the orange area, above the orange "title row" bar, or at the very bottom, so orange is the main separator.)
