    This is my new blog - dailysliceoftech.blogspot.com/

    Do the ads look well blended on the right column, or should I move them somewhere else?

    I think that Ad block looks good but I would ad something across the top aswell, just my opinion though..

    you should change the background color of your adsense. Because your page on that space has different color. you can find out the exact color with Photoshop. I will let you know when I am home and I can use my Photoshop to let you know what color you should use for your adsense.

    For better CTR put your adsense 336 x 280 just below the title and above the body of the post...
    Use the same color that the title to make it look blended

    What is CTR?

    I made $4 so far, and this is my first day with adsense, is that good?

    I added ads between each post, does it look alright?

    I also added a google search... is it too much should I remove it?

    I think so? I haven't really advertised it yet, I am using google analytics and it says:

    Direct Traffic (60.00%)
    Search Engines (20.00%)
    Referring Sites (20.00%)

    I am not sure who found it on a search engine, I tried and nothing pulls up.

    Wow, I made $4 today, nice!

    Quick Question, if I own a Forum, and I posted a thread asking members to "check out my blog" and support my forum by checking out the ads, is that against the TOS? Would google even find out? My forum is hosted in the netherlands (warezkingdom.net)

    Yep probably the Article you have at the top about brain and addiction is probably pulling in good
    keywords for adsense since it is medical..


    Nope you cant ask people to view your ads and support u, you can do what you are doing here
    and ask people to look at them and see if they look right..

    I feel you are using bumping technique to emphasize the adsense ads. Good luck, and be careful ~ Encouraging people to visit and check adsense ads would be violating Google AdSense TOS. Google is serious about this, I just ask you to be careful of invalid clicks, etc.

    When you're getting $3-$4 everyday for the next 2-3 months, then you know you are on to something huge. Just duplicate what you're doing with 100 more sites or pages, then you could be earning $300-$400 per day.

    However, if you're indeed using bumping technique to emphasize the adsense ads, I suggest you find something more stable that will give you consistent results.

    Even if your technique works, @ 100 sites, you will have to be sitting in front of your PC all day and forget you belong to the human race :)

    That 's of course if the 'dark forces' in the forums won't find your blog first and click on your
    ads to send invalid click alarms to Google.

    This is how account's been banned btw. "thought i should let you know...
