Default You should try this...

Elad from coolest-kid-birthdays.com and coolest-birthday-cakes.com posted an interesting thread in the SBI formus, explaining how he managed to triple his adsense CTR. He used to put pictures directly on top of his adsense ads and had great success with it. But Google soon made that a violation, which cause a slight drop in Elad's CTR. He was trying to think of a way to make his ads stand out without making them stand out too much, while at the same time, not being in violation of Google's rules. He then came up with the idea of putting highlighted quotes ahead of the ads, and his results were astonishing. He persuaded other SBIers to try it, and for most of them, it works. Last night, I took my top four pages and added quotes on top of my ads and saw a significant change - just overnight. It's still too early to tell if this will work in the long run, but we'll see what happens.

Go to coolest-kid-birthday-parties.com to see an example.

And, for those of you who have SBI, here is the link to the forum (you have to be logged into your SBI account to read the forums).

Very interesting. And this seems safe enough to where Google won't come back and say you can't do this (like they did with the images) because all it really is is content on your site.

I guess as long as your quote doesn't say "Hey these ads below are cool!" LOL then you should be OK. Let us know if you see a difference.

That sounds like an excellent idea! Good luck with this, West.
