the site is xboxism.awardspace.com can you tell me if the sky scraper is visible and if the banners are placed well? ( i will add more content)
Side banners are notorious for not doing squad. I would put an ad link at the top, before the first post, then a 468 banner between the first and second post, and finally, a 336 box at the bottom of the single pages, between the end of the post and the beginning of the comments box. Those always convert well.
