    So you are looking for the best performing ad size. Ok here you go. The best performing adsense ad size is : Large Rectangle (336 x 280) .

    Large Rectangle (336 x 280) gets the most clicks. It doesnt look like the standard ads people got used to. They perform best when you place your ad floating inside the content. I highly suggest that you kepp your adsense floating on the left side. People start reading from left (its the opposite in languages like arabic) so your ad will attract more attention. Here is the code that will float your ad on the left side and wrap the text around it. You can adjust the margin size as you like to keep your page neat. The numbers are given to give you some idea.

    <div style="float: left; margin: 3px 3px 3px 3px;">

    Here is the code that will float your ad on the right side and wrap the text around it.

    <div style="float: right; margin: 3px 3px 3px 3px;">

    Yes, the large rectangle is indeed the best performing.
    A lot of tests have been those and the average show that this is the best unit to have in between the text.

    For me, the best performing ad size is link units generally, especially if they have the same colors of the site and are included between site texts.

    for the old ads format that all the ads area clickable, the 336*280 is no doubt the best ads size.
    but now, as the ads area changed, i think that depands on you site, now i prefer to use the 250*250 on the left side of the articles.

    After the clickable area change I tried to use smaller formats, but in the end the large rectangle is the one that works best for me.

    Yes, The large skyscraper is a very good one to go for.

    The other ones require a little more focus on good positioning.

    I found that the Rectangle works best as well for mine..probably because it's quite small so that you can't see the site's URL and it "tricks" your readers, thinking that the link is still part of your site lol

    i always prefere 300X250 over large rectangle.

    Always remember whats works for the world might not work for you.

    yes, the larger rectangle apparently is the best performance adblock. But not necessarily it would be the same for all.

    seems like the best 4 are:
    336x280
    300x250
    438x60
    160x600

    agreed?
