Experiment
I am just doing experiment to see if the Google's newest technology works on my site. So far, the result is satisfactary. The advertisement served is pretty relavent to the content of my page and is not that annoying.
Ad Placement
Actually, I hate to bring the advertisement into this site, since I am passionate to provide more information about Shanghai and life here just because I love to do it. I am just conducting the experiment to see how it works and how much revenue it will bring. :-) I'd like to keep the banner to the second half of my content - after the article I created, so it should still be acceptable. What do you feel?
I tried to use all the layout of Google Adsense:
468 x 60 Banner
120 x 600 Skyscraper
728 x 90 Leaderboard
300 x 250 Inline rectangle
Finally, I choosed the smallest one - the 468 x 60 banner which serve only up to two sites. It looks more decent and fits into the design of my pages.
Andersj mentioned the idea to show the advertisement only on certain pages older than one month, so frequently readers always get fresh and ad-free content, and people from search engine will be served with content relative ads.
Still Expect Some USD for the hosting
To be honest, I still expecting to see money coming in from Google Adsense. At least, it may pay off for the domain names, the disk space. I always feel lack of disk space when I what to share something, like the Alcatel OT715 Mobile Software Suite. It does not make such sense for me to pay everything just to help others. :-)
