Use more than one ad on your page. Using multiple ad units is a great way to optimize your exposure. The ideal combination is usually two or three different ad units of different sizes. You don’t want your ads to overwhelm your page but at the same time, they should be noticeable. Ads that aren’t seen can’t be acted upon. Experiment to find the right number of ad spots for maximizing Adsense revenue.
