Your ad colours

I was just wondering if you guys think that blending your ads in or making them stand out is a better technique in getting clicks.

I had my ads blend into my site for a while, and I got no clicks, and now I am recently trying to make them stand out a bit. My site is mainly blue and I made the text ads into a green. It doesn't look too extreme but they are defiantly noticeable.

And I know that my clicks could probably just be because not enough traffic or my ads do not appeal to my visitors.

I was just curious what you do on your sites, how effective it is, and what you suggest.

Thanks guys

 

James - what is your site url? I'd be happy to offer some of my thoughts.

 

My site goes well with blending ads

 

www.walkerautocad.com

that is the site I am talking bout in specific, i used to only have an ad on the sidebar that was black and blended in, now I am trying one in my first and second post ando n the sidebar with green text

what do you think?

 

I just checked my adsense account and I got my first click ever for $0.46, WOOOHOOOO
This is with my ad colours changed, but this could also just be a coincidence.
Just thought I would let you guys know haha
That made my day.

 

James - why is the ad on the side bar not a 160X600?

The colors don't really blend but I think that is better in your case... the green stands out but I would make that ad on the side bar a 160X600 for sure.

Caught a typo too - -The dinging (should be dining) room and anywhere to eat, should be close to the kitchen

Also, no affiliate marketing on there?

 

Buzz your organic traffic If you have huge traffic blended ot not you will get more trick..I'm sure

 

I am new to advertising and marketing, and don't know much about affiliate marketing...would you suggest it?
Where would I sign up for that type of marketing?
I will change the ad on the side bar and fix the typo.
I appreciate your help

 

CJ.com may be a good fit... there are some affiliates on there that look like they would fit in well with your site.
