    HI,

    I am seeing many posts suggesting the change in the adsense block color. Please suggest me what combination of color will give more effect on the clicks.
    If possible please provide me few sample sites.

    if your links are any color but blue you better have a really good reason...

    I have found that i get the best results with page matched background, standard blue links a #666666 for the URL color.

    For good CTR, use the same link colors as the link on your site (try to avoid the standard blue, change all of your link colors to a different colors and make your ads follow that). Backgrounds of adsense ads should match the BG color its behind.

    Try to avoid standard blue? I disagree 110%. The ONLY exception would be if you have tried blue and you still get under 9% CTR.

    Over the years internet users have been psychologically programed to see blue as a place to click. All of the data from "authority" sources says that blue is the color to use. I consistently get between 12% and 32% CTR so I am a little curious as to why you say avoid blue.
