Did I over do it?

I have added an article section to my website and added 3 adsense ads blocks to each article. Just go http://www.project4hire.com/articles/how_to_spot_a_risky_freelance_job.html for a sample article.
My question is that did I over do it with the ads? Do you see too much ads on the page? Does it distract the user from the article itself?

 

Nope - very nicely done. I like it as a reader.

 

it looks just really perfect to me

 

No it's done nicely, although i'd get rid of the borders on the 728x90 and 300x250 ads

 

Not atall Looking good!

 

In the rectangle in the text, pad 20 px all around. The only fault I see is that the text seems to run into that thick border a little. Very well done.

 

I think it's well done and not obtrusive, but I would get rid of the borders. Thats the most important thing. I would also get rid of the dashed outline around the adblock. Just give it a little blank space (breathing room). Borders around ads are like walls protecting against clicks.

 

looks good, not overdone at all. But I am not sure I like the dashed border around the rectangle on the RHS.

 

You are right.

He should left a little blank space with some padding

 

usually i don't encourage people to put all three ad units just because you are allowed to do it but you have placed nicely so it doesn't look like just another MFA site. Remove border from large rectangle and put 3-4 px left padding.

you can also use adlinks just below menus

good luck

 

What is the click value like per click with you running all those ads per page? You getting a high amount per click or somewhat low?

 

Blend your ads more... get rid of the border (in content) and use the same link color as you do on the page.
