Contextual, YPN ads. Hands down.

contextual, upper right corner of an article.
I want to try mid-article to when I figure out how to do that.

I moved by ads to the top of the site as a leaderboard and I have seen an increase in click throughs. I would never have guessed it, but I thought I would give it a try and it seems to have worked out.

Contextual, blended with the content.

Moving your ads around can boost your CTR's if the majority of your users are repeat visitors (like forums). Users that frequent a site learn to ignore the ads, if you put them somewhere they're not used to seeing them, they'll have a better chance of catching their eye.

Within content always works weel. At the end of an article can also work surprisingly well
