which boxes make the most $$$?

I've been playing around with different sizes and so far came to conclusion that one very well placed 250x250 sized ad gives the most profit ( example on my content pages below).

What are your experiences?

 

As usual, it depends. My websites .v1 utilised leaderboard that has Verdana font size 8px which blends in with my content. I only used one ad block per page, so my CTR was a healthy 7%.

Now, with .v2 design, I use 3 ad blocks ie: 2 skyscrapers and 1 rectangle. My CTR got diluted but I started to see some increase in income.

 

Right, when I had more ads, I had huge CTR but with one ad now, CTR is lower but $ per click is much higher.

 

Also ever since I switched to skyscrapers and rectangles, I also had to change my content's font accordingly. But I kinda like the blend-in results.

 

Wide skyscraper and large rectangle works fine for me.

 

So far, the wide leaderboard's having the best results for me. It probably depends on the layout of your site, though.

 

Correct!
When I switched my table design, I had to pick up different ads too.

 

gonna test the leader board

 

Good luck! My best advice is to match the font of the Leaderboard, ie: Verdana size 8pt.

 

I know you're asking about ad units, but the link units have been very good to me .

 

I've read articles here at someone blog at http://seo.sirlook.com , it's about Earn $250 A Day Through Google Adsense, I don't know much about this articles but it makes me learn something bout valuale box

Hope it could help you all

 

i've found oddly, the smaller the better. why? it makes your site look less trashy, it seems less like an ad. and it's a bit odd when you get 4 options to choose from selling the same thing. imagine 4 salesmen trying to sell you something at the same time, your first reaction is to RUN!!

 

I still keep my old Leaderboard design in my archive. Should my current Skyscrapers fail to improve my earnings, I'd revert to the old one.

 

The ones that people click on

 

Large rectangles and horizontal adlink works best for my blog layout.

 

Boxes with adsense on them

 

From Google's Optimization tips:

I tend to trust Google when it comes to this type advice. They have a lot more data to use than any individual publisher. It also corresponds to what I have found on my own sites.

 

I'm with horizontal adlink and 250x250 rectangle

 

for me the large rectangle do a good job

 

The large rectangle is very popular and I can see why.
