Make sure you're getting the best ads: Opting into text and image ads increases the competition amongst the ad inventory available to appear on your site, as both text and rich media ads (image, flash, video and gadget) will compete in the ad auction. Rich media ads generally result in higher eCPMs than text ads. AdSense will automatically display the ads that will yield the highest earnings for you.

Implement the top performing ad formats: In general, wider is better. Wider ad units allow for more horizontal text than their narrower counterparts, and as a result are easier for users to read and interact with.

The three ad units above are the preferred ad units of our advertisers. These ad units have the most inventory available in our ad auction, which typically results in higher CPMs for our publishers.

Consider where you place your ads:Certain locations deliver higher earnings. Take a look at our heatmap for blogs to see which areas of your page are likely to perform the best.

Link Units: Once you've added three AdSense ad units, you should add up to three additional link units to provide complimentary, space-efficient advertisements for monetizing smaller areas on your site. Link units are just as simple to configure and insert into your site as regular ad units and take up very little real estate as well. Each link unit displays a list of topics related to your site’s content, similar to a regular ad unit. When a user clicks on one of these topics, they’re brought to a page of contextually relevant AdSense ads. As a publisher, you’re paid for any clicks on this resulting page.
