Could Adsense placement be better on the right than left? How is this placement?

    I'm new to adsense and put up a new site at http://www.golfcoursehunter.com I placed the ads on the right side instead of the left as I feel users will tend to click on the right hand side now a days compared to on the left where the main navigation usually goes. What are your thoughts on this? Am I placing Adsense correctly? Comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    -Chris

    the ad at the top always gets the most clicks...i suggest a 2 column site if you dont have much navigation links so that you won have a hard time whether its left or right...:D

    Hi fallen1, I never imagined the ad on the top would get more clicks. I have a banner ad on the top of my site, I would have thought the text on the right would have received more clicks. Would you mind looking at my site and letting me know if I'm using a good layout and also if I'm using a good top-ad? http://www.golfcoursehunter.com So far I received 3 ad clicks in 4 months but lots of visitors, I suppose I must be doing something wrong.

    try to use ads units because oin the op left with red text it will give you attractive similar to me

    ad units will have text with the same name of the page and so it will be more appealing

    try 160 200 ad units at top left

    Hi hawashp my CTR is 0.12%

    My adsense for search shows no queries over 4 months, I assume they are referring to the google search bar on my site. You mentioned a 160x200 ad units at the top left? I will try that out, I think the max ads per page is something like 2 or 3...

    The ads on the Top are the best ones. You can have a look at my ad placement. This placement is doing the best for me. http://www.freecallshub.com

    It's also depends on what type of ads and it's size. Ads that placed on the top are mostly those have clicks.
