It is interesting to read all of the different theories on ad placement and the affect. It seems that there are some good general ideas but you have to take the ideas and try them and then experiment to see if you can make the ad placement even better for your website or blog. It may even be that every page can be different not just the site.
Great post and great information. Thonk you.\

Thanks Darren! I’m using 468X60 ad format. From now onwards, I would like to experiment.

Based on what I read in other websites, 468 x 60 is the common ad size known to man and the tendency for us is to simply ignore this ad size. Although, I still believe it is how you make your adsense blend perfectly in your site that will matter most. In one of my blogs the 250 x 250 is getting the most clicks so far.

Can I be a complete n00b and ask why the 468 x 60 ads are considered the worst kind?

I think one needs to focus on making a good blog before even adding adsense—but that is pretty obvious, i think.

Very informative. I guess one has to keep on trying keeping the basic in mind. Thanks

Thank you for the excellent advice on Adsense placement. I have a fairly new blog and I am researching ways to generate traffic. I love your blog and read your posts with keen interest.

How do I go about getting my adsense unit between the title and body of my post?

Didn’t seem to work for me. I tried it and had an alarming and significant fall in my clicks. I used to use leaderboard unit for above the fold and the 336×280 unit for after post. After 2 days of seeing pathetic earnings from the switch, I decided to go back to my original units.

This idea is something I’d love to sink my teeth into! Before I saw this post, I was using 3 adsense units with hardly any profit at all.

I think trying out the new adsense layout is worth a shot. Hopefully it works for me.

we are just starting to look at adsense for a client and this has been very helpful. Seams a lot of people just ram adsense everywhere they can.

Wow!

Step 1: I took one of these tips and placed the large ad box above the fold in the sidebar and took out my header banner ads.

Step 2: I took the kids to see the new transformers movie.

Step 3: Checked adsense and in three hours I’ve already double what I make in an entire day on this site!!

Unbelievable! Thank you!

I read this post earlier this week and decided to try the large rectangle block at the top of my site. WOW! I couldn’t believe what a change! My click thru’s increased exponentially! I really wasn’t a believer but was happily proven wrong. Thanks Todd and Darren!

I tried this the day I read this post. I only added the 350 ad box and placed it above the fold and took away the vertical box I had below the fold. WOW what a difference. I practically tripled my clicks. I am so thankful to have read this post for sure!

Thanks Todd for tips. Started experimenting with one of my sites, removed some ads and eCPM tripled, although CTR is still the same.

So far, this method has paid off! In the past three days, I’ve gotten 6 ad clicks. During the prior three days, only 2. I look forward to checking the stats when it’s been a month or more since I reconfigured the ads.

Darren,

Todd’s experiments are good to follow. But in my one website, I am using 468 x 60 text unit in the header area is effective then any other. Also I think large rectangle best of all if it placed in right position according site content.
Any way, as you mention about Todd Fratzel “What he’s done has worked for him but it might not work for everyone “. That’s absolutely right.
