I have written before that text ads, placed within or at the end of an individual post, work well for me. They make more money generally speaking that most banners and widgets which are not specific to a particular blog niche.
I've noticed that Google actually recommend this themselves. They write:
"For example, on pages where users are typically focused on reading an article, ads placed directly below the end of the editorial content tend to perform very well. It is almost as if users finish reading and ask themselves, 'What can I do next?' Precisely-targeted ads can answer that question for them."I have to agree with this entirely. Try it and see. Not just with AdSense but also write your own small text ads, for whatever you may be promoting, and see if this increases your clicks and earnings/commission.
Good luck,
Mike.
