So... blended or not?

    Hey,

    Some say it's better when your ads are "blended" with your content, when they have the same background colour as your website, the same link colour etc.

    Others say it's better when it's not blended, like red links and yellow background.

    What is truly better?

    Thanks in advance.

    recently I saw blog posts on adsense blog that are basically saying you can get in trouble if your ads are blending to much . But none the less from my experience I will go with blending the ads.

    In my experience blended ads perform better.
    However you should test either way to find out what's best for you.
    There is no definitive answer as it depends on your template, colors, etc.

    I think blending the ads will help.

    Anyway, you may do some tests, and see what works best for your site.

    It depends on website, you should testing and do some workout on it. Once you've got the best performance layout, there you go.

    For me, most of them are blended types.

    I prefer blending to contrasting as far as choosing the ad color is concerned but locating the ads at important points matter much to get a high CTR ;)

    Blending ads works best for my site but the secret is targeted traffic and lots of it.
