what do you think of my placement?

[sebastya]

very good! I'd like to know how you managed to add pictures along side them too :)

Nice placement, I would give 100% if it was exam on adplacement.

PS :- multiply your ideas you will be successful

put the adsense ad in the middle, because they are so well blended if people see the top on is an ad they might think all 3 are ads but if you put it in the middle it would make it look more real

and also try getting them more targetted i dont think cs gamers will be looking for mineral ads anyhow

Well done, add content and you will get relevant ads. Maybe a a little more about the site like About Us" or "Mission Statement" on the front page.:)

TCR is right.

And definitely on this page you need textual content:

http://counter-strike-sprays.com/counter_strike_source_sprays.php

Add a single sentence description per spray. Ensure each page has keywords relating to counter strike, computer gaming, etc, and maybe use section targeting (https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=23168) to place emphasis on content and ignore some words (such as spray - which seems to be causing the mineral ads to display).

good looking website.
A spray is an avatar of sorts you can use with the game Counter Strike I assume?

thnx

I've been thinkin about makin a random content generator for the section where the ads are - so each time the page loads, there is different sprays, and the ad is in a different location. could be good for returnin visitors.

How did u place pictures with the ads?

There's only one ad within the 3 links btw (in case you didn't notice - I assume you didn't because of "ads").

What he did was create 3 seperate tables and place them on top of each other. Each table has 2 columns... First column contains the image, the second column contains the link + description.

The top table is the one that actually contains the AdSense ad, which is a 234x60 (half banner) ad. By making the other link + description in the other 2 tables (middle and bottom) similar to that of the ad, they blend together.

Very simple idea - very clever though... :D

You can see blending of a link unit on www.babykeepsakefootprint.net as well if you're interested (the menu bar to the right).

Nice site and yeah the randomizer might be a good idea although it might get a bit frustrating if you've downloaded a large majority of the sprays and are looking for new ones! :o

Edit: I forgot to mention - you might consider actually creating thumbnails for the sprays instead of just resizing the original sprays. I say this because it takes quite a long time for the page to load completely (considering each spray = around 40kb)... Saying that I am using a slow connection right now (56k :eek:)... Maybe it doesn't take too long on broadband! :)

[sebastya]

Oh now I see...that is clever!!
I might use that btw ;)

looks realy good m8, what i also would do is blend a small block in in the midle of your spray page.
