    Hi friend,

    You are wrong. Your ads must not stand out because then people will easily know that they are ads. Blend them with the content. Give them the same color combination of your site. This will easily mislead peoplel into thinking that they are real content and will get you more clicks.

    yes exactly. its called blending your ads within the site content and layout. you just make your ads look like part of your site content

    You don't need to blend it with the colors of yor site, you have to make it on a different color so it will stand out..

    ok... so am I assuming this is a subjective opinion thing?? am I going to hear a different opinion from anyone? I am looking for the most proven method of making a little ad revenue... blending in vs sticking out...

    statistically speaking, which ones produce more advertising revenue?

    Stick with Adsense default color layout....majority of visitors or searchers...reference the color blue as link and will most likely click your ads.

    All my sites uses the default color layout and I tested it against "blending", "ugly" and "bright" color layouts and the the default always gave me the better CTR.

    Default. White background with blue or matching color titles will work good.

    Nice way to get banned. I, for one, make sure people know they are ads. That way people know what they are getting into and will click when they are interested in the ad, not just by accident. Such folks are more likely to convert on the advertiser's site and thus your site will be considered to give quality visitors. Advertisers like quality visitors. Google likes it when Advertisers are happy. Do the math.
