Why would it be construde as MFA or spammy? As long as the site is original content and not made for adsense as in no content , many sites have ads under the main banner. It adds to the users experience to have relative links.
If you're embedding ads in content, use left alignment. It's tempting to center ads. But that makes it look more like a typical ad, and people may skip over it more. Agreed. I've tried changing links to match the colors in sites, or even matching text. Nothing beats blue.
useful but pretty standard advice though i do agree with blending the ads helping teh clicks come in (higher CTR) - one of my pages averages around 8% ctr and earns a fair amount! where do you people tink is the best for forums!¬
Example: anonymail.nl (Currently testing with different ad-sizes, so it may look weird ) It surely works! Gives me an average clicktrough of 25%. Another tip: Use questions above your ads, for example, if your website is about 2hand cars: Want To Buy A Cheap Second Hand Car? --------------------------------------- Ad Here --------------------------------------- Or something like that, on my website it resulted in a higher clicktrough
Thats a good format Bram Wenting but be careful on the blending with that format. It is easy to make a page look spammy when you put the ad in the middle of an article. Possibly you were refering to using "Want To Buy A Cheap Second Hand Car?" as a kind of heading for your ads. No problem in doing this per se but you must read the adsense conditions to make sure you dont infringe on the adsense rules. Keep up the good work folks Jamie
