    Using 120x600 skyscraper ads on the side instead of 336x280 rectangle ads integrated with my content. Skyscraper ads suck, rectangle ads rock.

    I agree about those skyscraper ads. I'm not seeing anything out of them.

    Best is, leaderboards and vertical banners. You stay with those two and you will be laughing every time. :)

    Gotta work the SEO first.

    Traffic is the main focus.

    Biggest mistake was putting adsense on my other small low PR sites ... smart pricing is a big issue.

    Biggest AdSense mistake for me was clicking my own ads when I first started using it... Google sent me a warning :p

    Mine too - although that's part of the testing. Perhaps the biggest mistake I did in the beginning was not properly naming the channels, which I figured out later.

    when I clicked on my own ads. At the very beginning I clicked on my own ads and generated a CTR of about 350%.
    Fortunately, they reopened my account.
