Link units offer a unique design and implementation that can adapt to your site and your readers' interests.

How to do ads like digg.com (in the header), they are in 3 sep. blocks. That would be nice if I find out how to ill let you know.

 

Looking at the html source for their page shows that the script looks different from the one that Google generates for me. Per TOS tweaking script is not allowed.
But I also read in the following thread that publishers with large number of impressions may be allowed to modify the script:

You must be Premium Publisher to do something like that. So, you need tons of traffic.

Where should I place Google ads on my pages?
"While this heat map is useful as a positioning guideline, we strongly recommend putting your users first when deciding on ad

placement. Think about their behavior on different pages, and what will be most useful and visible to them. You'll find that

the most optimal ad position isn't always what you expect on certain pages."

Nice thank you ...

 

Section targetingTo implement section targeting, you'll need to add a set of special HTML comment tags to your code. These tags will mark the beginning and end of whichever section(s) you'd like to emphasize or de-emphasize for ad targeting.
The HTML tags to emphasize a page section take the following format:
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

You can also designate sections you'd like to have ignored by adding a (weight=ignore) to the starting tag:

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->

Great tips, I never know about the "Advertise on this site", how long will it take for it to go away? I changed it in the account but I still see it on the ad's.

Thanks again.

You don't know what an email list is?

 

I am sorry wentworth, I misundertood the message.
I think you mean to say publicize your website/content using mailinglists (or subscriber lists)?

 

that is what i meant and what a lot of smart people are doing.

its a free way to pull many interested people to your website

 

The 2nd option of removing "Advertise on this site" may not make as much difference as some think.
