    Hi All

    My site is only just coming up for 4 weeks old and already I am giving it a major overhaul to try and make it more authoritive.

    Do you think this layout would work - content will be in white space.

    The site at the moment is just forum based and has made $16 in my first 3 1/2 weeks using this layout.

    I am busy writing content, content, content at the moment so hopefully it should pick up quite well.

    Any comments would be appreciated.

    On another note can anyone recommend any good click-tracking software. I have tried adsense tracker but I feel it is limited as it wont pick up clicks made by firefox users.

    Edit - sorry I think this is the wrong forum, would a mod be kind enough to move it to Placement Help/Reviews....Thanks

    I prefer the current layout much better -- the ads are blended nicely and it just seems easy on the eyes. I almost wanted to click your first ads, they were so tempting and easy going!

    You need some content on the home page for all that white without content is tough. It also make the site look lopsided. I would even put filler text so you can get the feel of the site. It has great potential but content would balance it out and make the ads look better.

    I've added in some sample content now as well.

    This is just a content page - not the home page.

    If I was you I would place the large square ads to the picture on top of the articles is better than in the bottom. Because that way it attracts more attention. However at the bottom, may be a 468x60 banner is nice to be added in.

    The large skyscrapper if possible, i would place it on the right because it next to the scrolling bar so it attracts more attention.

    that's it!

    I think the coloured one is much nicer, the other one looks so medical... I would add a picture underneath the main banner.
