Having same ad format all over your blogs might lead to a lower CTR since your visitors will get familiar with your regular ad formats and locations. It’s a wise idea to show different ad formats on different pages. Yes, you can show different ads on homepage and post pages on your Blogger or self hosted WordPress blogs. All you have to do is use the conditional tags with the ad code. You may use a conditional tag to show ads only on homepage and another conditional tag to show ads only on post pages. In this way, you can show different ads on homepage and blog post pages.
On Solidblogger, you can see banner sized ads (468*60) on the homepage while individual post pages will show square size ads (336*280 and 300*250). If you want to show different ads on your blog also, you can do this easily by adding a conditional tag.
