There are a lot of tips available, I will write down just few most important of them:
1. When You set up Your advertisements, consider choosing light colors or Your website colors, which usually work the best. Also think about using the ad rotating tool from Adsense to rotate different designs for testing and against ad blindness among regular visitors.
2. Avoid using borders, if Your ads are placed between content – You don’t want those banners to be too loud.
3. Actually I can describe this all with one word – test. You’ll never know how good different ad formats, colors, sizes and position works for Your site, if You don’t test it. It takes time – but money is totally worth it. Test, but don’t forget about Your readers, overact and You’ll receive slight traffic drops.
