I was looking at the source code of digg last week and looks like their code is different than a usual Google Adsense code. All I know is that because digg is a premium publisher, they can work out with google to come up with this goodlooking ads on their site.

I just managed to do some coding and got almost the same look on my site with some simple div floating and mess about with heights.

If your interested i could post the code

Thilak: both sites have the same affiliate code, that means are the same owner.

OK, I found a site called http://www.duggmirror.com/ which is not affiliated with Digg, but still it has same kind of ads

Yep, 20 million pageviews per month could land you as a Premium Adsense Publisher.

If I’m not mistaken, Jeremy did mention that b5media has already surpassed that 20 Million mark a couple of months ago, so that also makes you eligible as Premium publishers as well.

Went and looked. Yawnwd and got another cup of coffee. I dunno. I was hpoing to see more of … something. Look at an example like Chitika. I really think the tabbed interface, roll-over action is appealing (I’m not currently using them becuase my sites and their ad inventory match up so poorly). When I heard about the new and improved ads I really was exoecting more than just the border highlighting.

My ideal text ad would be a unit that parsed any search word that brought the user to my site and then outlined and highlighted search terms in the approriate ads. It’s technically doable.

Diggs ad placement doesn’t seem logical to me. Nothing on eaith side bar? 90% of digg readers are farther down the page and don’t have the top bar inview .. why let them escape? *smile*

The new adsense in Digg was good. In net now, I can see a growing trend among the INdians to open bookmarking websites in the form of Digg. I guess with every site trying to copy Digg’s formula Digg is only becoming more and more popular.

It would be really great to have the same ‘Premium publisher’ status as the other big sites have. The ability to fully customize Adsense formats would be like the cherry on top of the cake.

I’m pretty sure they did the whole upgrade to help attract more revenue. Those ads will definitely help.

I also like them better than the standard formats. But that’s just because I’ve become so accustomed to seeing the same old adsense ads, change is appealing. They look good and I can see more people clicking on them as they do stand out more, people are even intrigued just by the format.

One of the perks of the job (and 20 million impressions a month) but they’re certainly an awful lot more eye-catching an appealing, even for text ads.
