Although I make great earnings with adsense, I can't tell you how much due to program policy.

However you can checkout my websites in my signature to see my Ad placements which is the key to increasing adsense revenue.

Actually it is only the CTR and CPC you are not permitted to disclose. Overall earnings are not subject to restrictions.

Which spot is giving you a higher CTR? Personally I've never liked the large rectangle in the middle of the page like that. I'm sure it helps with the CTR but it throws off the page and leaves a ton of wasted real estate. I hate looking at a site and seeing a giant blank space right in the center of the page.

How are you doing with your link bars? I'm still debating on putting them on my site.

You know it is a trial and error thing. I would suggest u try the link and if your revenue increase u can let it stay.

The big square in your pages is misleading, because there is many links and ads and contents are confused for many !
I think most click by error .

The main tips I can give are the ad sizes. I've played around with it for a long time and found little things like the 728 leaderboard performs better than a 468 banner. It generally nets a higher CPM rate and usually has more advertisers in rotation. Same thing with the 160 skyscraper vs the 120. The 336 large rectangle will perform better than even two of the 300 rectangles.

As for all the other "tips and tricks" I've found most of them don't work. What I've found that works best is plain old good content and strong traffic.

Could this fall to the accidental clicks recently defined by Google?

I agree although the TOS leaves a little gray area that is open to interpretation. A lot of people say make the ads blend in but personally I hate sites that do that so I don't do it myself. Also Google seems to be Nazis about stuff like that so I don't take any chances and give them something that may or may not result in getting my account banned. I make my ads eye pleasing so it's not a total eyesore to the reader, but I don't try and trick people into clicking an ad thinking it's something else.

Thanks for the info.
But why adsense is so strict?

@rseobeginner: To make sure people don't abuse it. You have to look at it from an advertiser perspective. Would you pay for useless clicks? Advertisers want quality leads to their business, keeping the system strict helps to ensure that the clicks that are coming in are worth while. If it was nothing but crap leads coming in or accidental clicks, advertisers would pull their accounts and go somewhere else. So it benefits us all to keep the advertisers happy since they are ultimately the ones paying us.

great content is key
