I'm currently running a A/B-test on my other sites now to make sure but I wouldn't hold my breath. I’ve actually been doing this over at Hotell Gyllene Knorren without noticing any vast difference.

You ignore the #1 rule to blend in Ads, you ignore another important rule that the best CTR is right above content. You can make a VERY GOOD adsense CTR with thesis. 1) Your ads are the same font than whats on your page 2) your ad titles are the SAME COLOR as your links on your blog Just look at the bluesense theme WHY it has 25% CTR, because the ads have the same color. And you can do all this with thesis..even better actually. DoshDosh bluesense is NOT the “better” adsense theme.

You can make a VERY GOOD adsense CTR with thesis.

1) Your ads are the same font than whats on your page
2) your ad titles are the SAME COLOR as your links on your blog

Just look at the bluesense theme WHY it has 25% CTR, because the ads have the same color. And you can do all this with thesis..even better actually.

As for the bluesense, I don't like the colour and design, but if it has the highest CTR, can give it a try as well. Highest CTR is good, but you need to have better traffic to gain more clicks too. Example, Thesis 5% CTR, 1000 UV and 50 clicks; while Bluesense 100 UV and 25 clicks. So you see traffic plays the role, right? Pick the right niche is the most important factor I believe. :) Thanks for sharing this 2 themes Stefan!

The themes are not very attractive, but really AdSense friendly. I've got a 2.5% CTR on the WP theme I'm using. Check out my blog. I think the theme is pretty good. It balances the look, function and AdSense. Thanks for your recommendation. The themes are not very attractive, but really AdSense friendly. I’ve got a 2.5% CTR on the WP theme I’m using.

The best thing about using Thesis is not only that it's easy to customize but also that more and more free customizations are being released. Flexxtheme looks interesting and I think it goes well with business oriented sites. Thank you Keith, I’m glad you find my blog useful and decided to subscribe.

In my post I mentioned my CTR both for Thesis (5%) and BlueSense (25%). I agree with you that themes with extremely high CTR usually have a unattractive look. I’m not sure if I follow you.

I have used thesis and provides around 4-5 ctr.. freshnews used to provide 6+ ctr, never tried BlueSense yet and it looks quite ugly.. ugly themes have higher ctr eh? :P For both the themes :) assuming that you have used them in the past for niche sites maybe..

I recently started using Flextheme and it integrates adsense with ease, I like it so far. I know everyone really like Thesis, that may be why I decided to go with Flex since a lot of sites are starting to look the same. Anyway, nice blog, I am subscribing....
