Too blending?

Hi warriors,

I know that to get the most out of adsense, one should choose a color which blends with the text. I just changed the color, but it looks too dull. What Do you think? Should I change it and make it a little brighter?

Here is a sample page: A Thank You Greeting Card and Your MLM Business
Thanks

    Hi tush,

    I think it looks just fine the way it is, however I am an advocate of testing everything. Why not set up an A/B split test to see which variant works best.

      I like the way you have it. It uses a complement of the
      header and button color. I always advise against using
      the green for the link color. Use a visible gray.

      And when you test, which is a great tip, you need to leave it
      up for a good amount of time. I think even google says to
      try it for 2 weeks.

      Now this is just our opinions, so if you really don't like the
      color scheme, you need to realize you are not necessarily
      doing it for your tastes, but what will get more clicks.

      Once you are satisfied with the colors, the real trick to
      getting more clicks to dramatically increase your traffic.

      When people talk about lack of clicks, what they usually
      suffer from is a lack of massive amounts of targeted visitors.

      If this is one of your first endeavors into adsense, also realize
      that the ads should get better over time.

      Patience is a virtue.

    I will change the code and make the colors brighter. The results are horrible. I guess this particular code blends too much

    I wonder what a typical CTR would be for a website like that.

    I mean if it's 100% SEO targeted.. Any thought on that?
