This is what I am talking about. Conversion math is all about user experience. Thanks for the link to the wordpress script. I'll use it on some of my niche blog where 90%+ of my traffic uses IE.

Here's something to add to it - this is about <strong>AdSense Referrals</strong> - not the normal text-ads. If you're using them on your site, make SURE you deck them up with some sort of graphics to make them eye-catching. In fact, you can even write posts and <strong>ask people to click on those links</strong> as this is permitted by Google. They ask you to <a href="http://chaos-laboratory.com/2007/01/17/actively-endorse-the-google-referrals-to-earn-more-clicks/" rel="nofollow">actively endorse the referral links to</a> produce better CTR. I hadn't really gotten around to implement this till recently - but I got some amazing CTR increase once I did. Earlier my only referral links were a 125x125 button in the sidebar which no one ever bothered to click. Most of the time the referral link that was displayed was that of the <strong>Firefox with Google Toolbar.</strong> About 2 weeks back I had this idea that first of all the referral button was placed somewhere that most visitors are likely to ignore... and secondly, why should the button be shown to everyone - even people using Firefox??? What good will it do in such a case. So I got tweaking with the template code and implemented a tiny workaround. As of now, visitors coming to my site through Internet Explorer get this warning box on the top of a post - stating concern over IE and that they should consider using Firefox. Along with that I've given the referral link to download Firefox with Google Toolbar. You can check this out by visiting my site using IE (check out a single post - not the home page, where I omitted this to keep it from looking ugly). And immediately overnight my CTR shot through. Whereas I had months after months of 0% CTR for the referrals, in 2 days I had 7 conversions!! And rising.... Each of these fetch between $0.50 to $1.0. That's pretty nice considering the earlier returns - if you ask me :D As for the other referrals links, I've chosen a handful of them related to topics on my site and placed them over an attractive graphics background on the top-most position in my sidebar (a hand holding up a red box). That's working like a charm too !!! These are couple of helpful pointers that you can keep in mind while integrating AdSense ads in your theme's template. These WORK!! Cheers, m^e Thanks for the link man :) And that’s a very good and in-depth discussion you got going here.
