Hi, I want to create a large list of tips on how to optimizing Adsense Units. Please, help me to do it! NOTE: EVERY 10 TIPS, I WILL POST A NEW THREAD WITH THE SUMMARY OF THE LIST. Here, my first 5 points. 1. The three top performing ad units are: 336×280 large rectangle, 300×250 inline rectangle and 160×600 wide skyscraper. 2. The most successful link color is #0000cc 3. No use border 4. Using the same color background of your site 5. Integrate Adsense into content. Now, add yours.
Lists don't mean anything. The only real tip you need is to match visitor intentions to ads then put the people in front of the ads. That's it. That's how money is made. Lets say you have a store. It's not on a busy street. Instead of getting your message out to the community you spend all your time rearranging the displays inside. You going to make any money? Adsense earnings come to those who understand the behaviors of people not the mechanics of placement.

I am seeing lot of points developing here. I have tried some points like bigger fonts, large rectangle ads etc with some effect. Well the idea of using adsblacklist.com to censure low paying ads is a good idea. Go ahead and come with some interesting ideas.
check in analitycs what is the predominant screen resolution your visitors are using and place your ads acordingly.
17. If you have three banner placed on a single page and your ecpm value is very low, try to remove 1 or two banner. In this way, there's less competition between advertisers, and then they pay more.
#xx. Try not to have a bad attitude, and say things like - An open mind will get you a lot farther, than listening to so-called clueless "gurus", whose only purpose is to try to make you look stupid, and make themselves look like they are far superior. READ EVERYTHING. Draw YOUR OWN conclusions. Never let anyone tell you that "There is no point to read"! . .
