I am just novice in this field, trying to learn all the adsense tricks, but i was not getting clicks as such. then i started following DP and learn that why blending your template is very important and linkads also give you nice returns whereas they take very little space and they are very easy to blind. Then came New Google Adsense template or adformat (just don't know what to say) and my adsense earning shot up from two doller a week to almost two doller a day. So this adformat is very lucky for me. what's the story with you. Do this new adformat helped you lot or not?
First, congratulations on the improvement. I openly mentioned on another post that I too like the new ad formats. For me it looks more professional and blends in the page even better. About the link ads you mentioned, I take it your referring to horizontal orientation for link ads. I got a vertical one and I don't receive any.
I also like the look of the new ads definitely more professional, but unfortunately I have yet to see any better CTR. Will wait and see and hope for the best. Good luck to all.
ya, i have seen a lot of clicks after i changes to the square unit! also the blending of the ads with the text color same as the other font color and the background matching the site background make it feel lot like a part of the site! it did help and my earning increased a lot!
I am getting the same CTR with the new ads but for some reason my RPC seems to have gone up across the board.
finally google is doing the same what we wanted, getting user to click ads. haven't blended my ads just now, but will blend it afterword if i am not satisfied with CTR
