I have a small human edited business directory that is fee based. I am thinking of adding AdSense ads to the directory but feel it could distract from the other listings. Any thoughts? Q...
try adding small advertisment , not large ones, there is option of small box ads 234 x 30 size this block has just 1 advertisent, should look very decent.
Also, you can use ads in bottom with font and color same as that of page. There you will get clicks when visitor is going to leave your dir. And if she like but clicked, than, she will come back for sure.
don't expect to be making a lot of money with adsense on a directory though..cause it won't happen, unless you hava really high traffic
