Are there too many ads?

On my forum pages, does it have too many ads for one page. Here's a sample page:

(I know it looks like a directory but it will load the page.)

 

I don't like the square ad in the post. Make that smaller?

 

I don't think I can. For Adbrite, there aren't smaller ad sizes.

 

If you want to give my site a try, we offer smaller sizes: http://www.textadmarket.com/samples.php

150x163 looks about right for your space.

 

too many ads for such a "small" forum
+ remove that big square ads permanently.

just my .02 :d

 

Same like ismu.
Your site looks very crowded with many ads here and there.

 

Agreed that huge brick by your posts makes my eyes shore.

 

Its quite okay, though some might say that the ad in the post is quite abrupt, but nonetheless, that abrupt ad is an attention seeker. Follow up with it in terms of traffic, if you see that the ads there making your visitors go away in the next few days then in my honest opinion you should delete that adblock of 300x250. Best of luck!

 

Thanks for the feedback. The google ads I will not get rid of only because the google ads are part of adsense revenue sharing. The 300 x 250 I may review one of these days. It is in it's own zone on adbrite so I can keep track of it over the next few months.

 

For a new forum,i wouldn't advertise that much.

 

I got rid of one of the ads. From what I can see there are only 2 ads left. The one at the top right and the one after the first post in the treads.

Is that better?

 

Ya, that looks a lot better.

 

Thank you very much. I'm glad things look much better. The 300 x 250 ad wasn't very productive anyway.

 

Make your ads background color #262626.

 

ads is very normal now..

 

Thank you for the feedback.
