Well, earning from ads is nothing wrong and I appreciate the level of detail in many of your other posts.
But disguising ads in blogs (or any content for that matter) is cheating your reader/user! Almost sounds as if you believe business and ethics are two banks of a river..
Works only temporarily that way though!

I was just thinking to myself that your ads were killing this blog.

It’s not even the amount of ads – it’s the placement of them. They are distracting to the reader.

It’s ironic that you chose to post on this subject.

I made nearly the same experiences when I put some adsense blocks on my stocks-tips pages. Useing some outstanding styles (colors and background) gave my a clickrate of about 0.6% while a “embedded” style made it up to about 2%.
That’s about a 300% raise. But another tech did even make it up to 4%. It’s the click-block-ads, styled as a line of keywords within the flow of normal content.

Think one needs to change the ad-layout from time to time – just try to be unusual.

Thanks Dave and John.

Not sure what I was thinking while I wrote the post…

I totally didn’t mean “intrusive”…

…In fact, I meant to write “un-intrusive”!

Hasn’t Google been telling us all for ages that the CTR would be higher if the ads are intrusive (though they call them blended in) ?
