Go Wide

AdSense have found wider and generally larger units perform better, which isn’t rocket science as it will take up more space and is more likely to be seen.But advertisers are also willing to pay more for larger size ads so a click on a large unit can be worth much more than on a smaller unit.The top 4 performing units according to AdSense are – 300×250 Medium Rectangle, 336×280 Large Rectangle, 728×90 Leader board and 160×600 Skyscraper.

More Is Better

You are allowed use 3 Ad Units and 3 Link Lists on every page obviously the more ads the more chance of clicks.

Enable Text And Image Ads

Advertisers bid a maximum they are willing to pay for ad spots.AdSense display the ads from the highest bidder.By enabling both Text and Image ads you increase the number of ads competing to appear on your blog thus increasing your earnings.

Let Your Ads Be Seen

The section of your pages people can see when the page loads without having to scroll is called “Above The Fold”.Placing ads at the top of pages above the fold can increase earnings.

Blend In

When creating you AdSense units take a little time to match the colors with your blog.Ads that blend in with the other content get more clicks.

“…AdSense recommend creating a ‘borderless’ look by setting the border and background of an ad unit to be the same color as the page were it appears…”
