What is the best Adsense unit ?

The question about the best Adsense unit is asked many times in webmaster forums each day and users will definitely get different answers depending on the person and his websites. Certain trends suggest that the medium and large rectangle are the best performing ad units when placed next to content while the leaderboard ad performs best in places where users would look for navigation. The problem I have with leaderboards is that they take away the most expensive ads if it is placed on top which means that the rectangle units near the content will earn less.

Exploring Ad Placements

The placement of the ad on your website has a huge impact on click through rate and thus earnings. If you place ads somewhere where no visitors go you will not earn much from it. I will not tell you which ad placement performs best on your website because I honestly do not know. I could make some guesses based on my own experience but to be sure you have to test it on your website.

I encountered a new layout for the Adsense 468×60 ad units that Google seems to test at the moment. Normally the text Google appears in the right lower corner of the ad unit but on this ad unit it appeared on the upper left. This will, in my opinion, severely reduce the click through rate of that ad unit especially if you place it in your content and not in some place on the top of the page.

How to optimize Bidvertiser Ads

I have been testing Bidvertiser as a publisher the last week and have to say that the advertiser has lots of potential and that the correct choice of ads can increase the daily earnings. I was not able to generate huge sums with it compared to Google Adsense but if you cant use Google Adsense Bidvertiser is one of the top Adsense alternatives earnings wise.
