Where should I place ads in my blog?

Hello all,

Can you guys pls suggest optimum ad placements for my blog?

Thanks.

 

Can you provide a link(s)? Its really different for every blog, layout, and content. Thanks.

 

It is sridhareena.com.

I've currently placed horizontal link unit below the header image and one vertical sky scraper to the right (at the bottom).

 

Thats not to bad. However, I doubt the add on the right hand side under everything will get clicks. I suggest puting a 468x60 banner in each post using one of many wordpress plugins. I use http://wp-plugins.net/ to find my plugins. Welcome to DP.


EDIT: Or try inverting your ad colors (white bg, black txt) and place it ABOVE the image closer to your main navigation, That might work a tad better after closer examination.

 

Thanks drig. Which plugin do you use for adsense?

 

To be honest, I cant remember. All I remember was that I had to try out 2 or 3 different ones until I found one I liked. Good luck.

 

adsense delux is best plugin for wordpress, you can define different ad blocks and place anywhere in your post, i use it on my site(in signature)

 

adsense deluxe for sure. It's really good and easy to use.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I've spent almost the entire day today to integrate AdSense in my blog.

I've tried to make use of the maximum allowable by Google in any page of my blog:

i.e., 3 ads units, 1 link unit, 4 referrals

Please check out:

a) Home page: http://www.sridhareena.com/
b) Post page: http://www.sridhareena.com/2006/12/...ompress-files-into-multiple-independent-zips/
c) Archives page: http://www.sridhareena.com/archives/
d) A page: http://www.sridhareena.com/sitemap/

and let me know how if the placements are good or how they can be improved.

(For some weird reason, only 3 referral ads appear when I've infact put 4)

Thanks

 

Your ad placement at the bottom is against google adsense TOS. There are four images next to text ads.. You might like to avoid this.

 

Hi mave,

I don't think the ads at the footer of my blog violates AdSense TOS.

Pls see http://pro-seo.blogspot.com/2006/08/putting-images-near-adsense-ads.html.

From the official response:

and I do have a visible border separating the images and the ads.

Any other comments reg. the blog?

 

As long as following the TOS, if you have gutfeel to be right.. No issues. That's what is important. But more important is, not to take risk with Google adsense account. What difference these images anyways making to your earnings.. if not much, better avoid using it. Just my two cents.

By the way, the article link you gave was good.. thanks mate!

 

Put them around your navagation and content. Where I seem to have the best luck.

 

if i were you , i use 336*280 inside my content and 160*600 on the rigth panel
