Blend your Adsense Ads with your Blog Theme!
Okay, Missy over at Groovyvegetarian is my friend and I am not picking on her but here’s what she’s doing wrong:
Now, as you can see, she has a 468×60 ad when you go to the homepage and she has a 336×380 ads on single pages like here:
Now, here’s two things she can do to make a lot more money with Adsense and optimize her ads.
1. She needs to put a 336×380 ad OR TWO 250×250 ads side-by-side for her homepage.
2. The ads are still in default Google colors, she need to change the colors so it blends into the mild red she uses for her AHREF colors.
With the two changes, I am sure that she will get 2-3 times more clicks.
With so many people used to being “ad-blind” as they call it, if you make your ads look like Google ads, no one will click and no one will be interested in it.
By blending your ad colors into your blog theme, you can expect 2-3 times more clicks, thus 2-3 times more revenue.
Sounds like a simple idea but it works.
So if you are still using default Google ad colors, I highly you change that. (that means you Missy!)

HaHa. The only reason i have the ad default colors on Adsense ads is because i read somewhere, that people are more trusting of Google ads, when in the default color of blue.
I don’t remember where i read this, but it was a reputable source. (I’ll look for it)
Hmmmm. I actually did have one 338×380 box on the homepage, and just removed it like two days ago, because i didn’t like the way it looked. But i didn’t have it below the post title, it was above. Maybe that will look better, or maybe i just don’t like money. LOL.
I’m totally kidding on that last one, as i do like money, and want more of it. LOL.
I will try this, Max. Thanxs for the tip. I will revise the homepage (add two 338x 380 ad boxes) on Groovy Veg, and see how it changes the CTR.
Thanxs for looking out.
Missy.
