Especially with how popular 125x125 image ads are with bloggers ATM and as you said, the 120x240 ads look really good IMO. You are right, it is a shame.

As a websurfer, I always want to be able to see, where I am going to be send, if I press some link. Either it has to be as a text or I have to be able to see it at the footer of my firefox window. One thing that I at least missed when I first defined my ad boxes was that if you want to allow yourself option for getting image and text ads, your ad box sizes are much more limited than what they are if you are willing to limit yourself to text links. As an example, you can go to google adsense settings, select adsense for contact, text and image ads, it will give you following options (but forgets to mention whats on parenthsis): 728x90 468x60 234x60 (image ads are NOT available on this size) 120x600 160x600 120x240 (image ads are NOT available on this size) 336x280 300x250 250x250 200x200 180x150 (image ads are NOT available on this size) 125x125 (image ads are NOT available on tihs size) This is kind of shame, because I really like 120x240 and 180x150 boxes size.

I think its also important not to jam the reader up with ads and have them be able to easily access your content is key. Adsense earnings sure aren't that good because of it but at least I feel I'm doing the better thing for my readers. I like the post, we agree on most things about Adsense. :) -Scott I myself go with two discreet adsense ads in my sidebar along with the 468×60 Banner on top of the newest post.
