Put your Ads where the Money Is
If Google ads makes you ogle, you sure are going the right way… use Google Adsense intuitively, if you feel a strong urge to click a particular ad, more than likely, others will.
Here are some quick tips that might do the trick!!
Visibility of ad: Do not dump your ads right at the bottom of your website, unless you have a website where scrolling is not required.
Hot spots: left side of your page and the middle.
Best sizes:
336×280 large rectangle
160×600 wide skyscraper
300×250 inline rectangle
728 leaderboard
Contextual ads: Filter all the useless advertisements from Competitive Ad Filter link below the AdSense Setup tab using the entire URI/ URL of the website starting with www.nameoftheuselesswebsite.com.
Optimize: Use all the three Google ad units if you have a lot of traffic, else cut it off, you don’t want your ads jumping on your audience.
Link/menu ads: Build interest with link units in your navigation or menu area.
Blend your ads with your design: Match the headings and body of your ads with the headings and body of your posts, both in terms of colors and fonts, to some extent.
Multiple websites trial: Check ads in multiple locations to see what works well for your site. You could try using multiple Blogger accounts for experiment/ test.
Google compliance: BEWARE. Placing images in context with ads side by side could be the end of your Google Adsense account. Check the example below.
