I have recently made a website and I appreciate your review of my adsense placements. www.ehomebasedbusinesses.com thanks
I don't know much about ad placement, but from a novice standpoint, it seems to blend well. Although its pretty obvious they don't relate to the article.
Nice placement. What i would suggest is to constantly change the placement of the ads. Because after a certain period, your regular visitor will get used to the placements and they will ignore the ads.
try making the url ( the lowest part of each ad ) black. this way the link will stand out more ( blue ) hopefully that will help you.
site looks great, placement is nice...one thing though the skyscraper ad at the left is too aligned left, ad space and align it with your navigation...
