I friggin give up...

That new adsense format has me stumped. I have tried virtually all
day trying to tweak colors, sizes, shapes, you name it, just to get
the crap to look and feel right. Here are some of my thoughts.

I need a border. I put a light gray border. Without it, the ads just
don't look like much.

I was using the standard green url, but now use red. The green just did not
stand out as before. I may switch back.

I was thinking about ditching the 728 and going with 2 486's side
by side. It looks okay, but dang, that eats up two blocks with only
2 ads showing. On some pages with the 2 468 blocks at the top, I
put the big 300x600 block. We'll see.

After working on one site, all day, I have decided to just leave things
alone, no change in page format. But I am changing all backgrounds to
white to further enhance the border on the ads. I use the same ad style on
all sites.

Completely white background with borders on ads seems to look okay.

But dang, I hate the way these ads look.

My revenue is off today.

Anyone else want to chip in, feel free. I want to hear good and bad on how
your sites are going with this new shtuff.
