    I think the site looks cleaner. The image adsense header can blend very well in your site if you fix the alignment a bit. Make the header the same size as the ad's width, as well as the whole links below :)

    Very user-friendly layout. Easy on the eyes, which is sometimes difficult to find lately.

    I like how the menu is right there on the home page, but you might want to include a small introduction?

    Do you think I should put adsense in a column down the righ hand side also?
    The banner will be changing soon....

    I think putting an adsense column on the right would crowd the general appearance of the site a little.

    You are probably right but could boost revenue...

    It is about 1 week old but only started advertising 2 days ago. Am getting about 30 visitors a day but only one adsns click. Very low ctr.

    Hmm, well, I think you can put in another column for now, until the traffic picks up, and just create a V2 fresh layout. It will attract users and you can knock down unattractive ads, ultimately stabalizing the site.

    Nice looking site ...

    There is a rather large blank spot on the right ... you might be able to put ads over there, but don't overcrowd the screen.

    I would be more tempted to widen the columns for the categories and out the ads in the white space below them.
