Adsense Tips - Best Adsense Format

You will often hear a variety of opinions on what the best adsense format is. It really depends on how your site is laid out and what meshes best with your content. That said, there is a general consensus that the best ad format as the 300x250 rectangle ad unit.

300x250 Ad Unit

Specifically, we're talking about the 300x250 ad when placed inside the top of your post content, either wrapped in the top left, or top right of the text. This is in one of the adsense 'hot zones', and is also the highest place to get clicks. The 300x250 displays 4 text ads, or and image advertisement.

Research has also shown that this ad format generates the highest CTR and CPM. When a reader views your blog, and starts to read the posts, this ad will be right there with the beginnings of your content, thus increasing the chance they will see the related content, and click on the ad.

When trying to make money online through blogging and adsense, strongly consider this option. To further customize it, make sure the links and text of the ad blend in with the rest of your site. Make sure similar colors are used, as bright or mismatched ad colors will turn a reader off and likely send them away from your page.

250x250 Ad Unit

The second best performing ad unit is the 250x250. This may be best for blogs with smaller post width. This also performs very well, functioning in the same manner as the 300x250.

Text vs Image Ads

When blogging for money, not only is it important to consider what ad formats work best, but also what they are displaying. For the 300x250 and 250x250 ads, most top adsense users will say that the text and image combination format performs best for them, generating the most adsense revenue. This will vary from user to user, of course. I myself have seen better results from the text only ad units. It really is a form of trial and error and seeing what works best for your site and your content.
