    Great post!
    The blue links definately converted for me better too. Also your idea of putting blocks right in the text, tested better for me as well.

    Thank you for the tips Rep added.

    for the blue links, do you mean just the url which is green in the default, or the whole ad blue?

    Blue links (the first line). Then perhaps black description text and the last part gray for domain name.

    Thats pretty incredible - I was doing most of it, but I'll try some more. Trying to get out of the .6ish ctr doldrums. Any idea how to play ads between posts on wordpress?

    Yeh, with little PHP coding:

    - have a counter that increments (like "$adsensecounter++") on every loop round
    - and then have php code that says ("if ($adsensecounter == 1)")... it displays first ad, and when $adsensecounter is 2, it displays the second ad and so on

    Ask somebody in the programming forum to help you out.

    thanks for the tips but the no no for borders worked the other way for me. i blended them no borders hardly no clicks then i added the border changed the color and my clicks have been increasing daily where today i have had the most clicks of yet. so i think depening on your audience should also come into play.

    Yep, this is correct: you gotta test this stuff. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for somebody else. I suppose borders/no-borders has more to do about blending & site template (and perhaps also the audience). In my site's case it blended better without borders. Your site had the opposite.
