Blue or Not to Blue...

3000 · 01-21-2011, 05:58 PM

Hello Warriors!

Quick question, what do you think will get me higher CTR...

1. Having the adsense links be the traditional blue?

or

2. Go with the scheme of the page for example, if my header and page accents are orange should the links of the adsense ads be orange as well?

Thank you!!

PS. For those you've been following my adsense questions my daily income has been at a steady $1.00-$2.00. That's with only a handful of visitors. Again thank you all for the amazing insight and help

There is one easy "trick":

You analyze competitor's sites which are #1 for a keyword and where its obvious that they make their $$$ from Adsense.

Regardless what other people (incl. myself) often say about fancy blending of Adsense with content - i observe A LOT of high ranked sites which actually keep the DEFAULT colors, that is with blueish links, green URLs etc.

I can assume that many of the top sites already had CTR testing done..so there must be a reason why they use the default colors.
