    For me the adsense block at the top of the page is a bit to obvious. At one of my websites I did something similar. See for instance here I've put the ads into the text.

    The adsense block below the article looks fine by me. The amazon ads at the right hand site are great, I'm also expirimenting with these ads again.

    The ads block all the way at the bottom of the page will not be seen by anybody. Maby just add a small block of adsense to the righthand navigation bar.

    I don't see any adsense blocks at the homepage. I like some of these suggestions for ad placement. http://www.oweb.co.uk/2005/10/19/increasing-your-adsense-ctr-2/ Especially the ones in yellow with images, this might work at the top of your homepage.

    well we had adsense wrapped around the text of the articles, but because we always include an aimage, it would look bad.

    I agree with the ad at the bottom.

    Maby a small Banner (468 x 60) above the content-post would look nice, but it also depents on the ctr of the ads. If the ctr is good with these ad placements, I would not change it.

    ctr was very good today.

    I think we'll keep it like this for awhile anyway.

    Hi, Adsense looks good, but what I want to know is how did you get the Amazon iframe's to match your bg color and not have a border?

    The banner on top has white background color? Maybe a little bit more tweaking for color matching. You are pretty close because the header is kinda gray-ish.

    Looks great with the ads at the topbanner! The only thing in the template (right navigation) is a huge gap below the text 'Request New Password'
