Might be better if the page was a bit narrower, so it fit in perfectly. Also might try it with a whote border instead of blue.
the banner 468x60 is too small in width and the leaderboard is a little too big height wise. I tried it with white border and it really didn't fit in to well. Any other suggestions
Actuall it is a bit messed up from where I sit at 1344 X 1008 on a 22" screen, Mac OSX, using FireFox 1.0.7 See below
I'd make the background and border white, and make the space for it a bit taller and center the ad in there. Then the space where you have it, give it a 3 pixel blue border. Just my suggestions
i use a content management system where that spot is defined...i don't know how to modify the template. The web designer who actually gives me technical advice is on vacation but i'll have her look at it to see if she can modify that spot
Is anyone else seeing it messed up? I think it looks the best right now until i can alter the template. If its messed up in other browers, i'll have to take it down
its a bit hard to notice, so you wont get alot of clicks from that spot...the top one is noticeable..
i just figured it was a good spot for some ads. I don't get many clicks on adsense in the first place, i need to generate lots more traffic but in the meantime, this may get me some extra clicks
You should design the site based on the more popular resolution, which I believe is 1024x768. Just blend the ad above the bottom footer into the site, but I would leave it as it is for a week first to see if it actually helps the CTR or not.
I think it will be much better if you add the G-Ads on the left column.(Learn About Blue Tooth Product). The only way to test it a few days / week and compare the results.
Your adsense is in the worst possible place. Google ad layout shows this placement produces the lowest clicks. You need to put it up near the top and blend it into the background. It should be in the first place that people see. Hope this helps me
Honestly, I would make the background cell white, make the google ad border white and just leave the blue links. The link color will match your other links. Then it will blend into the site even though its smaller. EDIT: and move it somewhere else closer to the top like some other members suggested.
