It is no secret that Adsense recommends larger ad units like the large rectangle. Using recommended Google Adsense sizes that are blended into your posts is likely to result in you receiving much more per click than you would with a smaller ad, on the same page, in the sidebar.
How to Float Adsense
Above and to the right is an Adsense ad.
Notice it is not all smooshed up to the text.
The ad is a 300 x 250 large rectangle which is pretty big for my skinny little blog, but I figured I would show an example that even a large ad in a blogpost does not have to look hideous.
To make it further blend in (or at least be less ugly) I suggest you choose “image ads only” when creating your ad.
Here is the code to position those ads (it is just adding a “div”).
Add your Adsense code and then insert into your page or post.
<div style="margin: 5px; float: right;"> Put ad code here </div>
The above code will work on WordPress blogs, websites, just about anywhere. It also works with just about any type of ad too, not just Adsense.
You can also use padding to control the space between the ad and your text. The above code uses a margin. If you want more space between your ad and your text try changing the “5″ to “10″.
To make the ad go to the left, just replace “right” with “left”.

That actually looks great. I had to read the blog post to understand that it was actually a ad-sense picture and not a picture that had something to do with the text!
Great work.
I’m trying myself to fiddle with the SEO for my site (which is about collectible card games), and I haven’t dared touching AdSense for it. But I have some other sites with AdSense, and I’ll keep this in mind for them!
This actually very useful information for ad-sense newbies. And also helpful for blogger those who want to keep control over their ad orientations.
Thanks Buddy :d

i got a problem using alignment. it doesn’t work in IE for me.
Thanks for the tip. I’m working on an adsense optimized page template for my blog and this should come in handy.

Wow, thanks so much for this fix. I tried several sites and different ways to fix it. This is the only one I could get to work. Much appreciate the help.
Hey, everything seems to work using this method, but I can’t seem to get the ad to move ‘up’. If you take a look at the website I used to post this, you’ll notice the ad on there is just a little below the line of text to the top left of it. It’s driving me nuts! Please shoot me an email if you have a quick fix!
Much appreciated,
Owen

Thanks. took your advice. Like the way it is displayed on howtoplanforretirement.net.
Do you believe this to be the best place to have your ads?.
The ad placed on the top really hurts a lot. I am also considering moving it to the right midway of the post
