    The site is http://www.landscapingway.com
    Adsense and Amazon are the main income source for this website.
    1. Do you guys think it's too much, i mean the ads (the bottom page are the rss feed, not ads).
    2. Does the color blends?
    3. Any other suggestion too improve it's looks?

    Thanks

    Hello your site looks good. You've got too many google ads at the bottom though.
    You probably could get away with adding more pictures and changing the font and alignment of your content.

    At the bottom of the page are mostly RSS feeds.
    It looks as if is were adsense block.

    Thanks for your comment, anymore please.

    the site is nice....bu you could get rig of one of the bottom adsense block and remake the height of the rss block

    and about the color: try to change the links color to something else ...a brighter blue or something

    i believe placing more than 3 adsense codes in each site wont do well.
    i believe in this but other than that your site is nice.
    please suggest me if what i believe is wrong

    The count doesn't matter at all (adsense allowed only 3 block in a single page), what matter is where you place it.
    I did some testing by placing adsense on different places, and the current position has the best CTR.

    Thanks for you opinion.

    Site looks alright but I'm not a fan of the blue links on the green bar. I would try some other colours for the links.

    I agree.

    Guys could you all comment on....
    • What about the content itself?
    • What about all other pages (video's, links exchange, forums, article submitions)?

    Really much appreciate it
    Thanks

    the ads are ok

    change the link color to a dark green, the blue doesnt look good

    other than that it looks ok, maybe work on the top, have some type of nice font used for the header, have it white and outlined or drop shadowed in black

    Yes, I think you have too much google ads. But I think the right thing to do is to do a split test to see if it is makes any differences. If cut back the ads does not recude your income, why not?

    I did split testing awhile back ago with the site.
    I've placed 1 ads, 2 ads and 3 ads at different places, but what you see right now has the maximum CTR.
    I even test the color of the link and still this is the best looks to get the highest CTR.

    I need more comment with the pages.

    Thanks
