    Hey I have a blog that is getting a lot of traffic right now and I never really intended to make any cash of this blog (I have other sites), but the traffic is pretty good and I wouldn't mind making an extra 20-30 bucks off better optimized ads

    Up until 5 minutes ago I had the blog title color (blue) as the link color and the off white as the text. Now it is all white

    http://chris.instantspot.com/blog/

    What colors do you guys think perform best of a blackish background? I've been playing with the colors and blue as the text and white as the link was OKAY but I want a higher CTR...

    What do you guys think I should do? Never used ads on top of black before.

    approx how many visitors per day do you get?

    I would use teh same blue in your adsense ads, right now they don't pop-out on first scan

    Probably due to the clip of Saddam. I am sure a lot of sick people will be searching for these clips.

    I'll second that. I'm sure making them the same color as your regular links would help a lot. I'm just not sure if it's against the AdSense rules or not.

    Ya I'm going to go back to the blue in about an hour.

    The white seems to be doing pretty good for now, though it's impossible to tell when testing them over only an hour or so.
