Optimal ad placement or colors for common vB templates

I've been thinking that though there are hundreds of ready-made templates out there, some of them are more popular than others... for instance, I see that default vB template all over the place. Why don't we pool our experience about common designs and post what ad colors and placements worked best for you?

Use this template:

Name or Link to site:
Template: (Name of Template from Name of Template Site)
Placement of ad:
Border color:
Background color:
Text color:
Link color:
URL color:
Other details: (whether you used rounded corners, different font options, etc.)
