Remember when I reported that Google confirmed that they would stop testing font styles in AdSense because it really annoyed their publishers? Well, it seems like Google is back at it again, testing new font options on some publisher ads.

An official Google representative, AdSensePro Ashley, said in a Google Groups thread that they are testing revised font options on a “limited number of ad units.” Here is her announcement:

Interesting that Google would continue this test. Why not just give the font options to the publisher, give them the control?

We did report on August 15th, Friday, that Google was testing black AdSense borders, which is likely part of this announcement. As you can imagine, most publishers are not happy with this test, being that they can not opt out of it.
