Blending Google Adsense to your blog

by lechu on April 19, 2008

After doing some changes on the template of this blog, I was working on optimising my Google Adsense Ads placement and did some blending work. So what is this blending work. Now a days what happens is most of the visitors are seeing these Google Adsense ads on every web page and they know about these ads well. What we need to do is to blend these ads and make it a part of our blog. Google adsense ads should not be separated from our blog. I did some blending work by modifying the sidebar links using CSS. The ads I created on Google Adsense is according to the color scheme of my blog theme and the links I have created in way that really blends with the Google Adsense Ads.

image I am just experimenting it and will come out with the change in click through rate. Just have a look at the image on the right, which is of my sidebar, this includes Google ads as well as my recent post links. I have also added a block of Google ads inside the content page, which floats on the top left side of each post. The interesting part of Google adsense is it serves relevant ads and ads which are related to the post. By using this method the chances of increasing the click through rate is good.

Even you should try using image ads, which are good for increasing your Google adsense revenue.

While writing your CSS style please make sure that you test it both on Internet explorer and Firefox as both are popular browsers and widely used. There are some problems with Internet explorer and shows funny views for some CSS scripts.

According to the Google terms and conditions

1. Ads shouldn’t be placed under a title or section heading in a way that implies that the ads are not ads.
For example, ads shouldn’t be placed under titles such as “Dallas Business Opportunities” or “Today’s Hot Deals”. Placing ads directly below titles such as these implies to your users that the links in the ads are publisher-created content. The example below shows a placement that does not follow this guideline.

2. Ads should be easily distinguishable from surrounding content.
Similarly, you should not place an ad unit by a group of links that has identical colors and line spacing. Doing so may cause users to think the ad unit is content created by you. In this situation, we recommend using a different color for the ad titles or indenting the ad unit to help distinguish the ads from your own content. This screenshot shows an implementation that does not follow this guideline:

Google adsense is one of the best revenue generator for your blog if you use it wisely

To comply with the terms and condition of we have placed a heading as sponsor and separated from the group
