    What is the best AdSense Title link color?

    Joel Comm says it's #0000ff

    However, do you really believe this to be true?

    I really can't figure it out because it seems like #0000ff is way too bright
    of a blue to get a lot of clicks.

    For me, #425bc4 has always worked a little bit better.

    What about you guys? What AdSense Title colors work best for you?

    I think it depends of the theme and background of the web page

    Yeah. That's definitely true also Wokao.

    However, many people have found that certain colors do out perform others.

    adsense suggest that you blend in your ads with your site layout to make the ads part of your site for best CTR. if your site hyperlinks are red and your adsense ad titles are blue, then your ads will stand out and WILL look like ads which will give you low CTR. i would suggest you blend in your ads with your site layout and put the ads on prominent position

    My ads are in great positions. I am just wondering what link colors work the best for people.

    Lol People always say "blend" but they don't actually say what colors to use.

    blending means making your ads a part of your site and using same color text as your site

    So if you have green navigation and footer links etc, then you would have green links for your ads etc.

    Yes blend. For a normal page (white background, black text, blue links) 0000FF is good color trust me, but any shade of blue works well. You can even rotate them

    I learn this from an expert. Make your title catching everyone eyes by using red color text with yellow background.

    If you want to earn more per click,
    then chose it according to your background, text colors and menu colors

    Basically, the blue is the best but also have to depend on your background colour.
    Just try on your website and find the best colour

    Look at Lifeplayer's siggy above - doesn't the blue word just jump out at you the most? This is because blue is the default web link color - people associate blue with links.

    That's not to say I don't use other colors. But I will use one of the following: default link blue, another variant of blue, same link color as the underlined links on my site, a color that is predominant in my design.

    Interestingly, I have some niches that work best with blending and some that don't. Experimentation and testing / tracking is key.

    Good luck!

    I wrote a little blog post about which Adsense colors work best. I made the experience that 000080 works best because people got used to the 0000FF.
