Google Adsense for Domains Testing Fresh Design Templates

Google Adsense for Domains Testing Fresh Design Templates

Two fresh templates being tested, counting one with a graphic.

Google’s self-service domain name parking program appears to be testing fresh design templates.

An alert reader sent me an example of a domain name using Adsense for Domains “Online” that rotates between three different landers. In addition to the standard lander we’re all accustomed to, there’s a more basic one and one with a tropical theme:

Update: another Adsense for Domains user sent me an example showing up on some of his financial domains:

I keep a few domain names on the self-service platform and am unable to see a way to test alternative templates within my account.

The rotating example I have is for an .es domain name, and it’s possible Google is testing this on non-U.S. accounts.

Google Adsense for Domains “Online” is a self-service product that is completely separate from services such as DomainSponsor and Sedo that use Google’s ad feed. Those firms provide their own templates and optimization.
