    Hi,

    I just tried and did what I understood about blending in the adsense ads to my website.

    I need all your input please!!!!! :)

    It's FinancialFreedomAwaits.com or just click on my name above and click again on "View dinarpw's homepage". I am not allowed to post live links yet....

    Thanks in advance!

    If I were you I'd make the border and background white, the link the same shade of blue you use in the links above. and the text the same gray you use in the headers above. You want to make your ads look like regular links.

    just my 2 cents ...

    See the site for 2 seconds, then I think I got redirected .. Couldn't view your site, honey

    Not Found

    The requested URL /30; was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Yeah, that's been one of my problems too... when you open it with IE, it doesn't happen. But it looks like it happens only if you open it with some other browsers...

    I don't know why that is... can somebody help me with that too? :(

    I'll probably start another thread about this problem....

    Thanks a million! :)

    But can you be a bit more specific? Which ads are you talking about? I think all the links of my adsense ads are all blue except of the ones right under the main menu above. ;)

    I was looking at your /articles page. (with the pinkish ads)
    The blending on your main page is fine I think.
    I have the same problem as Iskandar though. (redirect to non existing page)
    I'm using mozilla.

    Good luck with your site !

    the page is very good and clear (IE6)
    the ad sense isn't matching with the rest page colors (for my sense)
    i had another problem which is the lenth of the page
    it's too long, all the content are in the center column, empty inboth sides
    i know this due to coding features
    so why not divide the content into smaller pages?

    I would make the logo not as tall and move the add to favorites to a different location. My eye goes right to add to favorites when I look at the page. Also remove your picture from front page put it on contact us page. Other than that looks ok ;)

    Nice site, maybe a bit more professional design would attract more people and make everything seem more legit. ;)

    Thanks you guys.

    Phew. Professional design. That's the thing. I'm still kinda amateur in web design and I even picked the design from a free template... :eek:

    Do you have any suggestions on how to make it more professional?

    Hey

    Nice site.

    Only thing I'd change is the opening "good evening visitor number ####"

    Makes me feel like a number which may slow sales?

    Just a personal thing I guess

    :D Actually, I've thought about it too. I'm planning to change it and probably do a little bit of redesigning as some people thought it doesn't look professional enough to make it legitimate. I'll be working hard the next few days (or weeks).

    Anyway, thanks for the input, bwp58! :)

    Hi all,

    after 2 weeks I have finally found the time to make a few changes to my site and the adsense ad placement.

    Could anybody do me a favour and give my site a quick look and let me know what you think about the adsense ads? I really really appreciate it!

    Its http://www.financialfreedomawaits.com

    Thanks! :)

    Don't like the codezap pop ups and the fonts are popular for a lot of the mlm type sites out there. Also you need a good logo :)

    key is to make it look like the adsense links are regular links on your site. Making them bold with different colors does make them stick out, but if the people on your website are truly their for content, they will be more apt to bringing you additional revenue by clicking a adsense link, thinking it is just more content than knowing that it is advertising and wanting to go there, away from your site.
