Here's a site I put together that does pretty good with adsense. The placement of the ads are set up to convert a higher CTR on adsense ads. Site needs a bit of SEO work but this is just to show the placement of the ads. Feel free to check it out dietprosperity.com, comments/feedback/reviews are very much welcome and appreciated If u wouldn't mind, rate this site on a scale from 1-10 in the poll. (1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest)
Hi, Your site is full of AdSense Ads. I voted 3 for your site. I think that people will get annoyed to see all the ads there.
Damn, that's an awful site. On the other hand, I see all the webhosting companies I was looking at this morning have adsense campaigns - I got one of them in each ad block on your site
As stated, this is a site I put together just to show placement of the ads. This isn't a site that has been worked on much as far as SEO and design goes. And like you said you "think" people will be annoyed, but I've actually tested this on many sites I've created and it blends in perfectly to draw in more clicks. Just tested facts. The layout for this site isn't important right now. The placement of the ads are because those are the spots that will catch your reader's eyes the most and if the site is SEO friendly then your ads will also blend in to match the theme or category of the site.
