Ad placement for mobile sites

The other day I was analyzing my stats and noticed that now almost 50% of my site traffic are from mobile devices. I'm thinking of making a mobile version of my sites, so I have 2 questions:

1. Is there a strategy for ad placements on a mobile site? Since the available space is a lot smaller does it matter where you place the ads? I mean its a vertical site pretty much so what strategies could there be besides above text, below text and in between text?

2. I'm making decent money already without a mobile version of my site, would adding a mobile version actually help increase my earnings?

Thanks in advance for any feedback you may have!

    If no one has advice on mobile strategy for adsense placement can you point me in the right direction? I tried searching on google but not having much luck in this specific topic.

    Try a fixed Ad position at the very top of the page, example, single line of a text Ad.

      Thanks! From what I have read from google adsense documentation since all of my mobile traffic is from smart phones I can use the standard ads for the mobile site. Trying to figure out what the best resolution to use ads for width wise is.

      Thanks! Yes I have been reading that. What is confusing to me is on a mobile site for older phones they only allow 1 mobile ad per page but the normal 3 ads for newer phones. They make it sound like I would need 2 versions of a mobile site because I dont want to limit myself to 1 mobile ad per page for newer phones. Or I guess I can just make a executive decision to only make a mobile site geared for newer phones.
