I posted an article about Google AdSense few weeks ago. I covered basic info
about AdSense like how it works, admission procedure, payment concept etc. It was more of a technical nature, first grade stuff.
Here’s a new lesson about AdSense and it’s dedicated to help you maximize the revenue from it. So let’s get started!
We’ll going to talk about positioning of your ads. It may not sound like much but the truth is that only a slight change in ad placement could make a huge impact on your AdSense revenue:
LINK UNITS
People often ignore link units because of their size and focus on large text and image ads. That’s a big mistake. Why?
Proper positioning of the link units could prove more profitable than text ads. The best place to put a link unit is near the site navigation link. Imagine your visitor searching for your archive and then the link unit catches his eyes. He will be tempted even more if a link unit is well blended and is of the same color as your navigation links. It becomes click bait!
From this theory you can conclude that a vertical link units usually functions better than horizontal, but that depends on the placement of your sites navigation links. On a site that’s configured like my blog horizontals would be pretty much useless!
TEXT ADS
Like I mentioned before that link units have to blend with your site, the same rule applies with text ads. However, there’s an ongoing discussion regarding this strategy.
One group of people says that it’s better to make the ads stand out more so they’re easy to be noticed. For example, if they have a white background and their ads are red, they can’t go without being noticed.
The second group believes that blending ads with the background is the way to go. I’m more for this option because it’s not aggressive and it looks far more professional than the first option. Frankly, just seeing an ad that stands out too much makes me want to leave the site immediately, regardless of the quality of its content!
After we discussed blending, it’s time to move on to the placing of the ads.
It’s a fact that the skyscrapers (160x600) don’t function very well on the two column blogs; they escape people’s attention. However, 3 column blogs like mine where the majority of ads are squeezed in the middle make it easier to be spotted by the visitor.
The most effective ads seem to be (250x250) squares integrated under post titles. I can’t implement this on my blog (I believe someone knows how). If you have an interesting writing, be sure that people will read it until the end, so you could place a nice large square at the bottom of your page.
I don’t want to trouble my readers so I avoid placing ads at or near the top of my page.
SEARCH BOX
There’s not much to say about placing of the search box. It’s proven to be most profitable on the right top of the page.
Set your search box to open results in a separate window. This will make people stay on your site!

Yes, just read my Make More Money Blogging: Get Your Ads to Pay More post for more info about how to incorporate the large ads like I have on my blog on blogspot blogs, wrapped nicely around the text. Yesterday I got the most clicks on my ads than ever before...
I hear that once we transition to a regular dot com, (keeping all our old blogpost backlinks and ranking and posts), those ads will pay better.
I'll let you know if that's true when I do...
Thanks,
Paula
I'm making a slow cash trickle... but hope to optimize it.

You've got some amazing stuff going on here! Usually for Adsense related articles I get people saying something about it, then going "oop! to continue, you must buy this "amazing" package for only $999!!"
But this is just what I was looking for; straight forward advice!
Do you mind if we exchange links?
Cheers,
Adam

Update for you people. Google TOS now states that you cannot blend ads to make them look like part of content. So, be careful and don't blend ads if you don't want to be bannnnned. Thanks and nice advice I have to say.
great job, try to write more and more.. and in detail.. thanks..

Thank you for this useful information. Google revenue depends on many factors which you explained here. Unit links And large rectangle pays more as my own experience.
I will continue read all your posts about maximizing revenue in google adsense.
Some good tips here and some great info in general on your blog. I never make that much with Adsense - usually only about $1-2 per day per site so I mostly stick with affiliate programs. I recently found some good wordpress templates with integrated adsense though that has increased my CTR.
nice blog here..nice tips also here..but this one is basic only..
but...very nice other making money adsz
