Adsense, placement really does matter.
Didn't like how I was doin with AdSense. I had the ads in the footer so it won't look bad. Moved them up to the header, now I have tripled my CTR and quadrupled my $$ / day.
Good Stuff  |

Above the fold does seem to work the best.

Pimpen, that's pretty funny as I was just about to post the same thing. I moved my ad to the header this morning and ive already made a ton more money than I made in a week with ads just in the footer.
Great minds think alike.

They sure do!
I actually meant to post this yesterday, but this "great mind" forgot 
I'm happy I moved it up because I was planning on taking adsense off my site and getting regular advertisers. |

Ran by your site and "happened to click" on one of your ads.... 
I'm amazed that one little placement change helped me/you/us out so much. My pages only have about 1 fold on them, and I didn't see much reason to move the ads up. Nobody clicks the ads anyway, right? I guess I see now.  |

Do you know if Google's impression count is counted just once per 2 ads on a page?

Thanks, I won't ( ) do the same...
My impressions went up so whatever the impressions are divided by the number of ads on a page... |

Placement, coloring used can make a huge difference. Adsense seems to be the best program out there.

Hmm, ive found best results by setting off-background colors. Helps users to better see the ads.

But this way they think it's part of the site and click on it to read more...
I'll have to do a test on that too...

I tested that out on a couple of sites and making the links look like they were part of the site did increase my ctr.  I'd be interested to see what others find. |

I guess it all depends on the amount of content. Blending won't do **** to a site streaming video.

Where is the “fold” these days !?
It depends on the site but I find top banners don’t work on my site with a typical CTR of 0.5% and the footer banner (below the fold) gets 0.9%. The best banner for me is the side banner with 1.2% CTR. |

I haven't tried side banners yet. I think incorporating ads on the top of the content area works well, then again at the bottom...
