Adsense in article

This is my first attempt at adding adsense to an article. I tried to create a little bit of contrast but I'm not sure if it will work. I plan on adding it to all my articles by tonight. What do you think of how this looks? Are to colors to contrasty? Or is the size of the ad too big for the article? Heres the article

 

I would use same colors as the rest of site. The ads on left hand side are good but the ads in article stand out to much. People will know they are ads.

Just change color so they look like site. If they blend in more more people will click.

 

Alright, thanks for the help. I will have to change it in a little bit I gotta find something to eat.

 

Yes, change the colors of your border and BG for the 250 x 250 ad to white, that makes better blending. Also if you can get the text to wrap around it closer..

 

I dunno if I liked the white too much but how is this now?

 

Looks good, if you move that 300x250 to the left rather than on the right you will see a much better click through rate.

 

Thanks for all the help, we'll see how that goes for now. I'm still open to any other suggestions that anyone might have.

 

I would like to suggest a change for the Ads Placement. Rather than having it at the top right corner of the article, its better to place these Ads horizontally beneath the article.

Reason: Article Readers will be more ineterested in reading the article first, and then they might end up clickink related sites, after they finish up reading. Placing it at the top reduces your chances of getting more clicks!

Just a thought though!!!

 

I think I will try this will a few of my other articles and see what method seems to work better.
