Sirscrapalot: Thanks for your reply. Personally I don't feel like just copying what large companies do or what they have researched is the way to go. I do what works for me and I do take advice from others but, I will only use it if I see fit. I agree with you on providing the consumer with the product they want and it just seems for some reason my customers want blue ads so, that is what I am giving them. There are so many factors when it comes to colors, I'm sure the color of a building has a different effect on someone than the color of a craigslist ad. Perhaps when it come to reading ads online people are more willing to read the ad if it is blue.
All I know is, is that I got two jobs today again with the blue ad and zero with the green ad. Perhaps the companies have invested too much in the color green and the consumers are already tired of it and want to see something else. Maybe when people look at ads that have to do with recycling all of them look the same but, when they come across a blue ad it looks different so, they read it.
I think Ill take brasscatchers' advice and stick to what works.
