After trying lots of placements on my blogs, I have figured out that this works better, with higher CTR and earnings: All units are 336x280 rectangle with text ads only On the home page: 1 ad unit before the first post 1 ad unit after the last post On the posts pages: 1 ad unit on the posts page, before the post title 1 ad unit on the posts page after the post On categories pages: 1 ad unit before the first post 1 ad unit after the last post Important: never put your ad units under the title of your posts. This is forbidden by Adsense TOS: POST TITLE <adsense ad> Post text Code (markup): This is a mistake made by many bloggers and you may get a warning by the Adsense team (as I did) or even worse, have your Adsense account closed. The only text that should be displayed right above the ads is "Advertisment" or "Sponsored links". Post titles or any other text is not allowed. The right placement is: <adsense ad> POST TITLE HERE Post text here some blank lines here (usually 2 or 3 <br /> HTML line breaks are ok) <adsense ad> Code (markup): And don't forget: always use 336x280 rectangle ad units. Make the background, links and text color of the ads match the colors of your page. These tips give the higher possible CTR.
