Monetizing Adsense

So I run Google Adsense on my Free Guestbooks website and I was just using the regular templates that Google provides. Well it turns out I wasn't making much money and visitors (even though the ad is positioned in a good spot) seemed to ignore the advertisement. I brainstormed through some ideas and I came up with one that now gets me 2x the amount of clicks that I used to get. Google Adsense has a great feature that allows a certain ad to use multiple color palettes. So I came up with 7 new ones that make the visitors notice the ads in an unobtrusive way. I have listed the colors below, enjoy.
  • Sunshine - Border: #FFCC66; Title: #FFFF66; Background: #E1771E; Text: #FFFFFF; URL: #FFFFFF;
  • Freaky Green - Border: #2D8930; Title: #CAF99B; Background: 38B63C; Text: #000000; URL: #000000;
  • Pinky - Border: #CC0000; Title: #000000; Background: #E895CC; Text: #000000; URL: #000000;
