Which types/sizes of ads are best for your site?

Well wondering which types of attracts more than others? According to Google the wide ads are more attractive than the slender ones.

It says 728×90 will always perform better than a 160×600 (Width x Height). It is related the way humans read, as we usually read content in a single, it is expected that the ads displaying information in a single line or Horizontal way is more attractive to users.Its good for users hence good for publishers. In my experience I have seen the ads placed right in middle of your site just above the content performs very well.

But if you start placing ads in the middle of your page many users may get irritated or your site will look ads oriented rather than content oriented. Its upto you to bring in a balance.

The link ads can be added anywhere and here also the wider ads in a single line saves more space and brings good exposure.

Best performings ads in order of performance

1. 336 x 280 or 300 x 250

2. 728 x 90

3. 468 x 60

4. 160 x 600

Link Ads

728 x 15

468 x 15

Is iphone losing its market?

Apple last week announced that it has sold 3.7 millions iphones till now, whereas AT&T figures show its little under 2 million iphones. 1.7 million is a whopping number to miss, its either that the people who bought never activated through AT&T or unlocked it or is it lying in stores?.

Though the fact many phones were unlocked, still 1.7 millions cant accounted for unlocking.Many analysts predict that there is a huge buildup of iphones in stores.With Apple not making any announcement about new iphone versions, many Apple fans were also disappointed.

After the initial buzz many mobile enthusiasts might lose interest in iphone, afterall mobile market is very fast and versions are released every 3 months are so.

Windows 7 successor of Windows VISTA shared with Microsoft partners

Windows 7 wall paper.new windows to succeed Windows VISTA

Microsoft has started sharing the new version of Windows which will succeed Windows Vista with Microsoft’s hardware and Software parteners.

The new Microsoft operating system was previously code named Blackcomb Vienna and is likely to be introduced in the second half of 2009. The version will be a “Milestone 1” (M1) edition for validation purposes only; two more Milestone builds are expected before the public Beta release. Microsoft’s roadmap for release had slated 2010 for the debut; that has now been moved up a few months to second-half 2009.

The new Windows is likely to offer advanced touch screen capabilities, taking advantage of multiple graphics card setups now offered by hardware vendors. A new integrated Media Center is also included supporting full home media and entertainment platforms. Another key feature is a reduced kernel size that takes up only 40MB of memory; the leaner operating core is called MinWin.
