Ad placement does matter

    Yesterday, I changed ad placements on my blog, and I already saw a difference. I placed an ad block among the text/content, and I already got 3 clicks from this. I had this same block in the sidebar before and only got 4 or 5 clicks in 2 months. I got 3 clicks in 1 day, although they were not worth a lot as they made me less than a dollar. I knew that ad placement did matter, but was not expecting such a major change.

    agreed I always find an advert square above a text block works much better than a sidebar placement

    In terms of importance, ad placement is next to number of traffic in adsense earning.

    Google Adsense even encouraging us to use channels so we could make some combination that would be more effective.

    Large rectangle placed within the content is ideal choice. This ad format will play video ads also.

    Traffic + Ad placement is the most important part of making a successful adsense website.

    Just don't be afraid to change the placement of your ads. It's just a trial and error.

    Yeah, I agree with the other posts. Probably something to add, what's a great ad placement for one site/niche may not be the best one for another. It depends on your visitors so just observe and make tweaks here and there until you get the best possible placement.
