Where to Place Google AdSense Ads?

Or if the site menu isn't too long (say, if it's a drop-down list or sliding menu), you can position AdSense just below it. If it's long, put AdSense on top first.




RIGHT SIDE. Viewers aren't likely to look at ads on this side unless it has graphics in it. One can add pictures to enhance their AdSense ads here

MIDDLE OR CENTER: AdSense ads in the middle of articles are effective, if annoying for the viewers who know what they are. Think of them as commercial breaks: You read an article and now and then a targeted ad comes
