    Nice link... I have downloaded few for my blogs. The same theme for a blog is really irritating. So I'll change the theme at least once in a couple of months...

    SEO-expert,
    you have put ads 336X280 at same place in the right inside the article block. do you think this can deliver better CTR?
    Why have u highlighted the border and ads from google text? Thanks!

    The article block ad is 250x250 and in my version 03 themes is very easy to change through the config file.

    I find the content 250x250 ad unit the best performing ad unit by far, but it's only suitable for sites your looking to make money primarily from AdSense (wouldn't use it on a shop for example as looses customers).

    I find blended ads with a border is better for a sites return visitors long term, I don't find 'tricking' visitors into clicking ads a good idea long term, so ads should look like ads.

    Basically I want to make money, but I also want my visitors to enjoy my content and return, (those are the visitors who might link to my content from their sites) so it's a compromise. If all I cared about was money I'd blend the ads border as well and conversely if all I cared about was my visitors experience I'd have no ads :)

    For my customers it's easy for even a novice WordPress user to change everything about the ad units, so my themes can do fully blended very easily.

    Go for a free magazine theme, something like the morning after or mimbo. There are tons of other general blog themes for adsense, so just google your topic and you will find a whole lot of right results :)
