You probably know the basics by now... AdSense Colors: Link Title color: #0000ff Description: #000000 URL: #000000 (Match the colors above with your actual site colors. For example: If you're using a blue site link color, make sure you use blue link color for your adsense ads) PS: Blue links over white background works the best with AdSense! AdSense Layout: 336x280 Text Advertisement under post titles works the best! Remember, put all of your ads in the content area! Example of a bad placement: 160x600 wide skyscraper in the sidebar... Even pros make this mistake... The reason it's a mistake... People don't come to your site to look at your sidebar. As this may work for those of you with an extremely low bounce rate, for the majority of us, people just come to our site for one page and leave. So, you need to put the ads where they'll be seen in that single visit; In the content area! Picture of my favorite layout! (You'll notice not a single advertisement is in the sidebar...) Also note: I am using blogger... If it allowed me to, I would put an ad right in the middle of the post, but I cannot... OOPS - Link unit on the bottom is supposed to be 728x15 Finally... The best trick yet: Display relevant ads! Go through all of your pages and make sure that your adsense ads match the post title of what your page is about. For example: If one is looking for Madden 2010 Football FREE, then label the title of your post, Madden 2010 Football FREE. Then, type your content related to that post, and hopefully, AdSense will bring up relevant ads. Relevant Ads are EVERYTHING! One of my site's CTR's is so high right now, simply because of what people are looking for on my site relates EXACTLY to the advertisement. The layout ABOVE Even if your ads aren't necessarily relevant, you can still get a pretty good CTR in the 2-5% range. If your ads are relevant, you'll probably be looking at 5-10% and sometimes even 15% CTR with the above layout. PS: Remember to put the word "advertisements" above your two 336x280 ads which display under the post title. Otherwise, you'll be breaking the "misleading titles above ads" rule...
woow you have achieved great CTR ... where you download that themes ? i' ll try to use your method. because my CTR is very2 low
I created the theme myself. It's pretty basic. What you want to do with AdSense is keep it simple. It's really all common sense. You want to display !Relevant advertisements !Blended in with the content !And placed where people will click Sidebar disagreement More often than not, people will come straight to your site to look at your main content area. Your main-wrapper... Which displays in the middle of your page. When they first visit, they'll be more likely to click an ad which display under your post title. People are lazy, when they're done reading they'd be more likely to click an advertisement placed at the bottom of your post, then they would the sidebar. Of course, maybe your homepage is ranking for some short-tail keywords. But even in that case, you'd still be better off with an ad on your homepage displaying in the middle of your page, over your sidebar. Unless your sidebar plays a major role in your site, it's better to simply keep ads in the content area.
