    if you give us some traffic stats, unique visitor stats, and an estimate of your adsense monthly income, we might.

    You only use 1 ad on your frontpage right? To me, this is obviously an ad, thus i would not click it too soon. If you can mix it into your site better, people will find it better. Having it on top doesn't mean people will review the ads the most. try a smaller text ad block right under your title_welcome.jpg

    try having your ad blocks a different color scheme from the rest of the site so they stand out more

    Move them up. As for "i have no clue about it" - don't conveniently ignore how you would navigate the site, put the ads in positions that you would be most likely to click (don't be scared of putting off users, they come for the content, not layout.)

    My! friend try to change up the color scheme of blue to any active and vibrant color as the subject font is not properly viewable as compare to links which are colored in WHITE! ads placement is perfect

    I could hardly find your adsense ads, and they were definitely not by anything that would lead me to click on them. Almost seems like you are just trying to keep them out of the way.

    @jezzz: i changed the font, so now the text and the links look more alike

    @rockinfuture and sport302: i thought the best thing is for ads to blend into the content. you think is better if ads stand out?
