Take a look at my small business web page and let me know what you think of my Adsense placement: http://matthewpstewart.com/ This was originally a book I had written to sell - I have now put the entire book up, along with Adsense ads. The web page is set up like a book (table of contents, chapters, etc.) Take a look at how I’ve set up the chapters with Adsense and Adlinks and let me know what you think. Thanks for your comments.
First blog ad: try using image only ads... because there's enough text in your site the focus of the visitors will be drawn to the image ad.
I agree, when I was first laying out the homepage I had a display ad but at the last second decided to go with all text ads. I don't have any traffic yet, but when I do, that will be the first test I do - text ad vs. display ad to see what gets the best results. Take a look at how I have the chapters set up and let me know what you think. Click Preview, Continue, then take a look at a couple of the chapters to see how I have Adlinks mixed into the text - Thanks
Very nice layout, albeit over simplistic. Try enclosing the entire website to look like it's on a sheet of paper or on a book cover. Then modify your fonts to be arial, to better match the adsense ads. Very good start, just need to finish it.
Thanks, you hit two big things I'm concerned with. I prefer simple layouts, but this page could easily be considered too simple. Your idea of making it look like a sheet of paper is great. Also, thanks for the font suggestion.
Your welcome to copy the graphics and html here: http://bigsensation.com/demos/matt.html I think the borders make a huge difference, from amateur looking to semi-pro.
