About 6 weeks ago, I polled our readers on which Google AdSense unit they found to be the most annoying. The results are in and the winner of the most annoying AdSense unit is the large rectangle unit.

As you can see, the Large Rectangle, by far, beat out all the other units. What does the large rectangle look like? Here is a live large rectangle:

That is ironical. I have found large rectangle to be most monetising.
Google also says its rectangles are highest revenue generators.
It could be sore to eyes but brings money.
