A friend of mine emailed me about two weeks ago about the Adsense ads on his blog which he said had kept on displaying public service ads.

He asked me what was going on and how to make Google display real ads.

I had to tell him the truth that I don’t really know the reason. Perhaps, I said, it had something to do with ads placement.

I’m not sure if I’ve given him the right diagnostic but for those of you who want to give your Adsense ads some power-ups, here’s a YouTube clip which might be useful. Its 11 minutes 46 seconds but worth watching even if that would mean you will have to wait for sometime for the clip to load, especially if you have slow connection.

I hope with this new layout I’ve stayed close enough to the tips given. One thing I haven’t done is to display large ad block. Will experiment with that later.
