Adsense Bests - Add Yours

best adsense format, color, position, size, shape, etc

This is meant to be a list of the best performing aspects of Adsense, ranging from the color of the url and the body text to the size and position of the ad, to the keyword you target.

Name your bests in the following categories:

ad format
ad location
linkunit format
linkunit location
url color
body text color
link color
keywords to target
way to target keywords
way to filter ads
number of ads per page
referral type
referral location
search box type
search box location
search box format

Anything else I left out or that you feel is your best performer. The idea here is share what works with Adsense, and how everyone can benefit from any small changes or tweaks.

How can publishers most effectively boost their earnings?

Thanks.

This is useless. All this data is site specific. If my site had a black background, my color scheme would not work if you had a white background.

Layout and format are dependant on "your" sites layout. What is a cash cow for some will flop for others...

Blending the ads WITHOUT positioning for accidental clicks tends to be the best layout for me.
