Hey DP, Sort of kept in touch (just about) with the adsense and blogging world. I decided it was about time I started writing about my interest in life and what I get up to with regard to that interest. The Rising Phoenix Blog - UltraWayUK.Net. I've put two ads on there from google adsense, as you can see they stand out a bit. What would you say is best, make them match the background and site colour more or keep it more of a stand out? Many thanks.
IMO dont make it stand out...make the color same as the backgorund color to make it look like regular links... try a horizontal banner ad below your collage at the top...
http://www.ultrawayuk.net/ I think it looks a lot better now, it's been blended in on the left hand side. I think I will try it this way.
I would say there are 2 schools of thought on this; 1 - Make ads stand out as then they are more visible to people and they will be more likely to click on them; But I prefer; 2 - Blend it in with your website and then people dont realise they are clicking on an ad and just think it's all part of your site. I find 2 works better on sites that have ads
looks better but not quite...i think a wider ad on the left side is better to suite the wide navigation links you have...
That's what my line of thinking has been. I am working on it. Just wanted to test what it looked like blended. Thanks both.
