Adsense Colors Not Displaying Properly

[cameron]

I added new adsense ads on my site today, but it isn't displaying properly.

You can view the site here:

The links are supposed to be orange to match my links, but they are showing up as white for me. Any ideas what might be causing this, or how to fix it?

You need to change the colors in ur code:


<!--
google_ad_client = "pub-6416563167804556";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_channel ="6894995588";
google_color_border = "336699";
google_color_bg = "336699";
google_color_link = "FF6600";
google_color_url = "FFFFFF";
google_color_text = "FFFFFF";
//-->

'google_color_url' and 'google_color_text' need to be FF6600 not FFFFFF..

I tried that change just incase, but that's not the problem. I only want the link to be orange, not the text and url. It shows up fine on the adsense page when I set it up, so I think it must be something to do with conflicting code on my page. I don't see what it could be though, because as far as I can see there is nothing set to make links white.

I've known some people to have that problem. It seems, even though it's visually ok to us, the ad system sometimes determines that there's not enough contrast between the background color and the link or text colors and will default to another color.

That may not be your problem, but I know that occurs. The owner of cross-browser.com dealt with it not too long ago.

Thanks. I tried some different colors and they worked. I guess you were right about the contrast thing.
