Hugo Boss? :) they make uniforms for all sorts these days :(

Is that what you meant?

Yep, they explain it there, and are showing you what the Image Extension looks like.

The black person wearing the funky shirt / sweater, on the peach background... that's the Image Extension.

Well I am interested in doing this, but I added an extension for images, added a couple of images but for some reason they only show in the GAds interface as broken images. I was having a chat with my G Advisor and he said it was set up properly and he could see the images - but that is no balm for me because I can't see them!

I've also tried this and it is a bit buggy.

What I've found is that images for some reason do not always show in the Extensions View after they're added. However I found that logging out and then back in again solved this.

I've added images to different Ad Groups in one Campaign so far and the interface also does not show the association until the image is approved.

Finally, deleting images does not appear to actually delete them (even when you are in Extensions View rather than Associations View.

@FranticFish, thanks for the tip about logging out and back in - didn't work for me ..

I tried instead to force an ad which would display the image ext, but so far haven't managed to make it work.
