According to adsense coach Joel Comm, ads that bring the highest ctr, are the ones that are blended in the best. Placing ads that are easily struck as ads do no not work as well.

To blend ads to your site make the color of your ad titles the same as the color of your text title. Also make the website links the same color your ad links. Blending your ads with the colors of your site will make them less noticeable as ads and more likely to be clicked.

Another method Joel Comm uses is to use a blue ad links color. Over time people have viewed blue ad links and now recognize the color blue as a color that is meant to be clicked. In other words, when people see blue, their mindset tells them to click, or rather the link is meant to be clicked upon. The blue color link is encoded by the code #0000ff.

Good luck with this technique. Make sure to note that every website is different. There is no right color for any blog. The best results come from experimenting with different colors. Many sites may succeed with the color blue, but others may see better results with a different color. It all depends on the layout and design of the website itself.

Cheers!

Interesting, I never thought about that.

The only potential problem I see is people may feel mislead if the ad is blended too well. I'm not sure how I would feel if I clicked on a well "blended" ad

I think that most people on this forum would be using google Adwords as an advertiser to get traffic to their site, and don't actually having advertising on their site.

As a user of adwords I want google to bring me high quality clicks that will turn into leads, not people that have been tricked into clicking. I would expect that google would smack down any site that engages in this sort of tactics.

I'm still trying to figure out what Journey (the OP of this thread) gets from reposting things here that have plastered through the internet before.

I'm not sure 'tricking' people into going to your site is the best way to earn trust and build authority. AdWords works well if Landing Page Optimization is done properly, so I don't see the need to do these tricks.
