where to put adsense ads on minima template

Dear all,
i m using 3 column minima template and confused about ads placement. WHere is the best place to put ads on my blog. Following GOogle heatmap will be fine ???? IF i try to place as Google heatmap suggested ?

 

i tried using as suggest by Google Heatmap, is it worth ???

 

Both of my blogs below use 3 column minima templates. i have a pretty good CTR, between 5 and 8 percent. check them out for ideas. i like to use the link unit on top, it looks like a site menu, then i like to imbed the other ads in my posts. check it out...

 

thanks for your feedback my fren..

 

some say the google heat map is good and some says it isnt...so its a case to case basis...the only way to find out is to try it yourself and watch your stats...

 

i tried as per the heatmap, but didn't prove to be working ....

 

I don't think you can ONLY rely on the heatmap. You also need to use other techniques and combine them with the heat map...

 

reverse the heat map...put your ads in the cold spot...try it...


if it does not work...change your layout
