Adsense positioning

[renamecor]

Just thought I would ask those with the experience, what would be the best positioning for my new pages would be.

I currently have them down the right hand side, see here ;

Or would I get better results if the ads ran horizontally and were embedded within the content.

I know that I could experiment with this myself, but as there will be alot of these pages and they are all in html and take time to sort the content, I thought I should ask about your experiences.

Cheers.

try and set up a dynamic template if you can so you can do with the content what you want whenever, otherise page updates and site updates are going to be anoying, looking after a site should be fun



anyway, your question. If you want high click through rate embed it, use the horizontal one, but be clever, stick 4 images above it that line up with the text, will make it look more like content on your site an hence - better CTR.

Or embed one of the smaller templates into a paragraph of text.

Dont reat contextual ads, such as google adsense like a banner, ie, dont stick it as a skyscraper dow nthe right or a 468 on the top.

hope that helps anyway, g'luck

Hi

I hate to say this, but I think it's against Google's terms of
service for you to put adsense ads. next to videos.

I may be wrong, here! Please tell me I am, someone!

I don't think it's explicitly against the ToS, unless you are using it to effectively blend the ads with the content, ie the ad copy looks as though it's the click through point for the video, thus encouraging more clicks

I find that link units make considerably more than the standard adsense advert blocks. Maybe people are becoming 'imune' to adsense advert blocks. Either that or the fact that a 'link unit' looks more like it could be part of your website which increases CTR.
