I recently launched a blog related to templates and I am having a hard time placing adsense. I have a one large vertical banner in the sidebar but I don't know if the link color is good enough to attract attention or the background etc so i need suggestions... I am using an adsense plugin so that adsense is only displayed on the individual post. I have placed the code on the right of the template screenshot and below it. Does it make sense? I haven't had a single click so far and have around 100-150 impressions/day. One more question i had was, can I display ads from text-link-ads along with adsense ? http://www.mystyledump.com
You could try orange titles and blue text to help them blend in. Or put some ads in the posts themselves using Adsense Deluxe. TLA with Adsense is fine.
i have two suggest for you. * use the same ads colours which are matching your theme. * use square ads units inside your theme. this will give good ctr
You should change your ad color : - ad link units: orange - text and url color: blue so you can match the main links you have to the right of these ads. Also, try moving some ad units to the upper content area of your site.
