We’re pleased to announce a change that we’ve made to the incidence of clicks on text ads on the Google content network. Previously, users could click anywhere on text ads running on the content network, including the ad’s background and any part of the ad text, for their click to be registered. Now only clicks on the title or URL of text ads will be counted.
This change better aligns what is considered a click for ads on the Google content network with what is considered a click for ads shown on Google.com. By changing the clickable area on text ads, we hope to increase user satisfaction with both our advertisers and our publishers.
