Welcome to Smuggle Me

After reading a post on Inside Adsense I decided that I’d check out which ad formats have the video ads included.  Well, it turns out that there were a number of ad formats that now support videos.  As such I’ve changed the ad on the left of my individual blog posts to have the 250×250 format.  Too bad I haven’t found any video ads to try it on.  I’ll be watching to see how that changes in the future.

One other thing I learned in my search to integrate the video ads into my blog was that I didn’t have image ads enabled for some of my ad blocks.  I’m not sure what exactly happened, but I think that Google must not have had image ads when I put that ad block together.  Regardless, I think it was a bad thing for me to not have images enabled.  I think people like images and it also means I would have had a larger pool to choose from and thus made more money on click throughs.

I guess you just live and learn.  I’ll be more careful watching it now that I know that it is happening. I still love adsense although I have yet to see the large checks that I’ve seen scattered throughout the web.
