Review my website

Hey, I'm a beginner to websites and Adsense and would like some opinions on the layout of my site and its current use of adsense.

The link is just below (Arsenal FC Blog)

Cheers.

 

Nice simple blog, only problem i see is the google ads pushing the table width out part way down the page.

 

just reviewed it in FF and for some reason the banner is not showing?

 

whats in the header?? nothing? but theres a link in there. if you will not put anything in the header. Put some ads in it..

 

Is this true? Does this mean that in Firefox the site does not view properly? I only use Internet Explorer so I was not aware of this. What should be done?

Can you explain this? When I have placed ads in various places it has not had too much of a problem. At this point in time I haven't used too many ads because I don't really see the point (traffic is low). When traffic picks up I will place some more.

Thanks for your help, any more tips?

 

Just bumping this up again to see if you guys can answer the questions I have posed in the previous post.

Thanks.

 

Okay I can't see the banner in firefox so that needs sorting...

The adsense code needs changing a little (but check first you are allowed to do this) to make your links thinner

google_ad_width = 200;

make to

google_ad_width = 130; or so

Cheers

 

Make sure you don't directly edit the code and to use the Adsense code generated directly from Google.

 

How would I go about doing this?

Trust me, I won't. I don't plan on getting a ban from Google for doing something so trivial. Again, how WOULD I go about thinning out the links without directly editing the code?

 

You can't - Personally I think it will be fine as your just editing the width of it, and not altering anything major.

Otherwise choose a different ad format.

As for the header, i cant see the problem but it just doesnt load/is non existant. Try a different theme

 

That is annoying because it loads perfectly well on Internet Explorer. Will have to have a think about this. Do most people now use Firefox? Therefore, does my site look underdone to most surfers?

 

Without a header yeah it does look empty, but i wouldnt say underdone... ... what is supposed to be in the blank header section?

 

Also try putting horizontal text links instead of the ones that go over the edge

 

This image is my header

The above URL is what my header looks like in IE.
