The Best Color for Displayed URLs

Green, Blue or Nothing?

I want to know the most suitable color for the displayed urls of AdSense ads. I have seen some sites don't show urls at the bottom of ads. Hope this has been done matching the url color to the background color (white).

Is this approach more effective than displaying the urls?

And also can I display two ad units in same size (say 250*250) in the same page?

You have to display the URL's - you can't blend them in with the background. Premium publishers may have the option, but everyone else certainly doesn't. If you do try to blend the ads so that you can't see the URL, adsense will simply show the ads in the default format.

As to what colour to make them - whatever looks best on your page is my advice.

You can show up to three ad blocks of whatever format you like on one page. Plus one adlinks unit and one search box. In addition, you can have Firefox and Adsense referral buttons on the same page.

Only problem is that with all that space taken up by ads, visitors will think they have landed on a click trap and hit the back button as fast as possible!

Some ad-unit sizes don't always show the URLs anyway.

Than you very much!

Best color , max ctr is with default blue, to my knowledge. most people relate to that as a link.

This is slightly irrelevant because the entire area of an Adsense ad is clickable, not just the "link".

I have two main websites, each with a different look and feel, and my ads are blended on each. To match the look and feel of the sites, one site's ads have blue links, and one site's ads have links that match the text (black). I haven't seen a difference in the performance because one doesn't have blue links...

I would say, more important than having blue links, is having links that match the color of the other links on the page.
