Introducing Google Gadget Ads

Introducing Google Gadget Ads


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.
