Hey guys, please take a look at my site at: http://www.thesportsperspective.com/ My site is dedicated to posting articles from online newspaper and sports websites. ex: ESPN, Suntimes, New York Times etc. What do you think about the position and color of the ad? I only put one on but it's in a prime spot and I don't think it ruins the viewing experience. What do you think?
I think it works well, if you're going for a clean look stick with what you got. maybach points out that a wide skyscrape would fit well on the right... this might work, personally if I was going to put another adunit in I'd put it half way down between the sections somewhere and keep it as a 468x60 adsense banner.
There's just too many of these kind of aggregator sites coming out these days. The best option is to build a big reader base right now without any ads, just focusing on showing that you are providing a service and not out for ads $. When you get the regular traffic, i will suggest looking for ads instead adsense, no one wil hardly click on those adsense without any contents on your site. At least that's what i think .. oh well.
