My top 3 are:
Leaderboard (728 x 90) | Large Rectangle Ad (336 x 280)
and (728×15) Displays up to 5 links;
This one is also very popular (but i don’t have good experience with it), i don’t use it often because it is hard to implement with sidebar (you need to have large contents) Wide Skyscraper Ad (160×600).
To add images to it, you can use this plugin with it : Adsense Beautifier.
Adsense beautifier is a plugin available for Wordpress to make your Adsense look beautiful in order to increase you Adsense earnings. Images adjacent to ads can help increase click through rate (CTR).
Images can be use to increase our click through rate. You can add image next to your AdSense to increase your Click Through Rate.

Try to put ads on contents, inside the posts, text.
This is first of my new series about my Google ads experience !!! I try to transmit my knowledge about Google ads and ask some questions about it. I also have many questions about Adsense without answer (yet).
It is very nice from your side to share your knowledge to other people. Indeed, Google Tips and Tricks is a very useful site for those who work with ads.
Yee i think this is the good time to transmit some knowledge from me to my visitors.
Big thanks for tips
I used the same type as supriyadisw used in his pages. Wait, he’s promoting an adsense beautifier which inserts images beside the google ads. Makes me wonder if google have changed its rules about images next to the ads.
