Thousands of webmasters out there monetize their sites using AdSense. So an average surfer gets to see tons and tons these adsense ads, eventually he gets bored and becomes ad blind. AdSense Decorator is a free utility which helps you to drive away ad blindness by composing attractive designer ads like the one show below:
AdSense Decorator support all the 12 ad formats of Google Ads and allows you to customize the ad by changing Ad border color, background color, link color, text color and URL color. Once you finish customizing, you can preview your ad. Finally you need to fill in your AdSense Publisher ID and Channel ID (optional) inorder to generate the ad code.
Features:
- Edit AdSense template.
- Support 12 formats of Google Ads.
- Colors of the Google Ads is customizable.
- In the Ad Editor, you may insert objects, including images, text and frames to the AdSense template.
- Export the AdSense template to JPG image file
- Preview the template with a click
- The Ad colors can be customized in the preview stage.
- The Ad colors include Ad border color, background color, link color, text color and URL color.
- Generate Google AdSense code automatically to apply the background image.
- The AdSense publisher ID and channel ID is customizable.
- You may update the default publisher ID and channel ID in software options.
Does it Violate AdSense TOS ?
Since it doesn’t change the ad code in anyway, I think its OK, but then it all depends upon the text and images that you use to customized the ad. Make sure you don’t use any image or text which draws undue attention towards Ads.
If your still in doubt, shoot an email to AdSense Support team and ask them. And here goes the fine print, I take no responsibility if you get busted out of Adsense, So make sure you stick to the rules.
My First Impression:
Designer Ads can give a really boost to your CTR, only if your willing to take the risk. An average webmaster with basic HTML skills won’t need this utility, but then it comes handy for us to generate quick adsense code without logging into our adsense account. Give it a shot, Its Free!!

AdSense Decorator Violated the Google Policy, Sorry!
I just received an Email from Google that told me the violations of Google AdSense policy. So the AdSense Decorator program must be stopped. Sorry…
Quoted from the Email:
Publishers may not implement Google ads in a manner that disguises the ads in any way, for instance, by formatting neighboring content to look similar to the ads, or by making ads look like games or forum threads. Additionally, publishers may not attempt to associate specific images with the individual ads appearing on their sites. Such an implementation may confuse users who assume that the image is directly related to the advertiser’s offerings.
Also, publishers are not permitted to make prominent use of “Google Brand Features” on sites showing Google ads. Google Brand Features include Google logos, product screenshots, or other distinctive features. Additionally, publishers may not place Google ads on sites incorporating Google trademarks in the site URL or on sites that frame Google pages, including search results pages.
