A Question About Blue Adsense Text Links

    Hello,

    Adsense newb here. I need some help on adsense link colors.

    I have read on here that blue works best. I have used that advice pretty well on some other sites, but I am having a problem with one.

    The target areas for the ads are either red or black (no flaming my colors plz lol).

    If I go with the standard link blue in the red area, it looks dull and faded. I currently have it set with a lighter blue that is at least sort of close to the blue I want, but it still looks weird to me.

    On the black background areas, any blue just does not show well at all. I am trying red text links in this area.

    Can you please take a look and tell me what you think about the text link colors? I would REALLY appreciate it!

    See this page for example: Mardi Gras

    They actually look pretty good as they are at the moment (White). I recommend that you put the banner nearer the top though, so it can be seen more, and hopefully increase your CTR ;)

    Yeah, I went back to white because I can't stand the blue on it. lol I don't know. I hear that blue is the only color to go with, but what about for a weird site like mine??

    Thanks for commenting!!!!

    Basically, what you should do is make the links blend in to your site as much as possible

    They look fine to me, they blend well with their backgrounds.

    OK. Thanks guys! I guess it works. Any color other than white just looks dumb.
