    I've implemented many of your tips in the past and the one that has made the biggest difference has been using the blue links.

    I'm going to do some testing on using less images.

    I have a question.

    I notice that some websites have videoads only at the end of a post.
    Do you have an opinion on this?

    You're welcome.

    Yeh, less images (and especially less ANIMATION!) in the topmost area. Or... if you have images, make sure they are less likely to catch the attention, since you want people to click your ads - not focus on pics.

    Heh, cheers.

    No :)

    Uh... seriously, if you get some new idea, then my opinion is that OPINIONS doesn't matter. It's the METRICS that matter.

    My process for "new idea" (such as "videoads only at the end of the post") is:
    1) Test it (i.e, in google: set up proper channel names and put the ad code in your site)
    2) Watch it for some time (like at least few thousand impressions, hopefully 10,000 impressions or week or something like that)
    3) compare results

    If results were better than before: then go with the new way. If result were poorer than in the past, then get back to the past way of doing stuff.

    Great tips. From my experience the link color should blend well with the site's color schema and that blue is not always the best link color. But this is just my experience.

    No problem. Let us know how it goes.

    Cheers. Nice signature by the way "not for sale" ;)

    Or... perhaps the site's color schema is not the best ;)

    Now who the heck is DP ;)

    Sounds good

    Tip for you: don't try to trick them - you get banned. :)

    Set up a new company and apply again...

    Yeh - please tell us how it works.

    Struggling? Then perhaps you should figure out what's the biggest problem. Is it CTR? Traffic? First you gotta spot the problem, and then you fix it. :)

    Cheers
