The Secret to AdSense Blending

Article written by Chuckun on the Webmaster / SEO Blog On March - 14 - 2009   |   Print This Post Print This Post

Many people have trouble getting their AdSense Pallets to blend.

It never appeared as obvious to me, but after a bit of trial and error, it seems the answer to blending is simple!

Firstly, there is an alternative preference to blending, which is to make ads clash instead of blend.  If this is your preference then just do the opposite of my blending advice!

To blend ads properly here are the basics rules:

If the area around the advert placement is a light colour, you want the adsense to be a light colour.  Whilst this seems obvious, you must realise it’s not about matching the ad background with the page background.. Not by any means.  You want the ad to be slightly heavier than the rest of the page, but still faint.  For example, with a white background, you may want to use a very pale green, blue, or orange.  By pale I mean very light, faint colour. Then you want the border a similar colour, only a tiny bit (but noticablely) darker than the ad background.

If you’re using dark ads, simply do the opposite of the above!

I hope this helps some of you with your Ad Placement.
