The best location for Google ads varies from page to page, depending on content. Here are a few questions to ask yourself when considering where to position your ads:
What is the user trying to accomplish by visiting my site?
What do they do when viewing a particular page?
Where is their attention likely to be focused?
How can I integrate ads into this area without getting in the users' way?
How can I keep the page looking clean, uncluttered and inviting?
Certain locations tend to be more successful than others. This "heat map" illustrates the ideal placing on a sample page layout. The colours fade from dark orange (strongest performance) to light yellow (weakest performance). All other things being equal, ads located above the fold tend to perform better than those below the fold. Ads placed near rich content and navigational aids usually do well because users are focused on those areas of a page.
While this heat map is useful as a positioning guideline, we strongly recommend putting your users first when deciding on ad location. Think about their behaviour on different pages and what will be most useful and visible to them. You will find that the most optimal ad position is not always what you expect on certain pages.
For example, on pages where users are typically focused on reading an article, ads placed directly below the end of the editorial content tend to perform very well. It is almost as if users finish reading and ask themselves, "What can I do next?" Precisely-targeted ads can answer that question for them.

This design is steller! You certainly know how to keep a reader
entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I
was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
almost...HaHa!) Great job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and
more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
