    Hey,

    I recently changed the center content area of my websites background to a lighter color. Was dark. Everything else is dark too. Including adsense.

    Clicks have gone down. Am wondering if this has increased "ad blindness" and I should change the background color to match the lighter content area. Adsense is in side bars.

    Has anyone had a similar experience with changing colors and getting lesser clicks?

    tru to set ads color to match colors on website, that should increase clicks. also, try put it on places that it looks like part of site, not just like inserted ads :)

    I think it takes some time to show through depending on visitors, articles etc. I've changed about two weeks now. Will give it 2 more, and see from there.

    I'm not really wanting to do the "blend" ads technique yet. Valid points though!
