We took this question to our Optimization Team, who gave us insight into the strengths of each ad format:
- The 300x250 medium rectangle is a widely supported format that advertisers often use when designing their branding and rich media campaigns. Using this ad format and opting in to both text and image ads may generate more placement targeting opportunities, which will help drive up competition for your ad space and should lead to higher earnings over time.
- The 336x280 large rectangle tends to have a higher clickthrough rate due to its larger size. It often performs well on text-heavy pages where it's integrated into the content.
What's your opinion? Feel free to leave us a comment and let us know how the medium and large rectangles have performed for you.

that's fine
but shouldn't you be more interested in announcing an official post about payments delay all over the world
payment in progress since 24 September, longest time ever !!
thank you
Get real.. At this moment in time, your publishers all over the world need and deserve an official statement about the PIP saga. the cause of delay and how and when they will be paid..
No one at this stage of month is interested in medium vs large rectangle performance debate....
Hi, Can you comment on the delay of payments for thousands of people around the World? Many publishers just whant some info on what's going on.
Thanks
Yes guys. Thousands of publishers from all around the world keep refreshing adsense blog and website waiting for an announcement on when the payment will be issued or what the problem is. Please advise. Thank you.

It is very interesting news about the size (300x250) and (336x280) will give good results for us.
Hi, quick question.
Am I allowed to show adsense on pages where I'm showing google news feeds?
I think this should be possible as they're both from the same company?
Just want to make sure.
Thanks.
336 IS BEST for my blog, in fact I use both 336 and 300 and also 728 and my CTR + eCPM is the best in Industry, thanks to Google Adsense, I luv u,
Why does the medium rectangle (300x250) ads always display small font size even if I choose large font in settings?
I had applied
1. 120x600 (image)
2. 300x250 (image)
3. 336x280 (image)
And many times I have seen similar advt. running at 120x600 And 300x250 within the same post.
And many times I have seen similar advt. running at 120x600, 300x250 And 336x280 within the same post.
Same advt. twice even thrice which I find not interesting And I am sure noone will find it interesting.
Now after reading your blog post I have changed 300x250 into text and image advt.
Lets see the change.
And lets see whether I see again similar advt. within 120x600 (image) And 336x280 (image).
Thanking you for the post.
For me, 336x280 isn't large enough. I wish you had something larger. Maybe 600x300. The space I'm using right now has a width of 688, so I could use an ad as wide as 688.
I also wish you had an ad size that was 120x60. I have space for that next to my web site logo banner.
While I'm talking about improvements, how about allowing us to get paid if we have made at least 50 dollars?
for me a very nice big size. easy
for the view
Large size is more paying.
I find that size doesnt matter all that much. Actually, my best results come from ads that are the most relevant, or are pictures.
Either way, I find my clicks are way down from the first few years of blogging with google. Why would this be? Per 1000 hits, I get perhaps 5 clicks. Is that normal? My income has dropped drastically.
In my case 336x280 ( image and text ) performs the best... 250x300 is about 30% less effective on my site.

"and should lead to higher earnings over time" a common claim by you Google AdSense people and it makes me laugh every time, since your suggestions do not always lead to "higher earnings over time," otherwise your advertisers would be very unhappy campers.
I have a feeling that clicks are down because people have the adsense look ingrained in their brains and are now avoiding it.
Once a page loads, I can easily tell which content are ads, and I will subconsciously ignore it. I'm sure there are now millions more who think like this, when they didn't a couple years ago. Mainly because EVERY site in the world has adsense on it.
80% of my earnings comes from 336x280 only, then comes 160x600 and link unit...so you can see i m dependent upon the above one only. :)
Why don't you add a few different format?You know web design is improving day by day and i think web site owners who is participated in Adsense need more alternative ad formats.
It would be great if I could find out how you select the ad format size these days, it used to be so easy but now I have absolutely no idea where these settings have disappeared to.
i guessed we have to switch on to an ad format rectangle which has greater chance be clicked.. that's what we need right?
All depends very much on the width of a homepage or blog template if this Adsense format size will look good.
Why?
Just figure a huge sofa chair placed right at the entrance of a tiny lobby. That's as overpowering as putting a huge Adsense square above the fold.
I've tried it and was horrified.
Now, I wonder if it would have a less intrusive guerilla like appearance in the middle of large text.
May be, only my own taste for attractive advertising plays such a role here.
Not that I didn't make Adsense placing mistakes in my homepage, which still need to be corrected...

Why is ADSENSE advertising on MY hubpages when they've not even reviewed my app yet. Ya know what....until you decide I'm worthy of your ads...then keep them out of my posts. Period. end of story. I have an incredibly high rating as a writer and ALL of my Hubs are huge ratings as well. Monopolize on some other schmuck before coming to me if you are not going to pay me for the clicks. Amazon doesn't do that....why do you???????????
