put up a new blog for my directory here , as of now ive just put the ads in the post using adsense deluxe plugin for wordpress, however open to suggetions friends
Didn't like the wordpress template. I hate black background and white text - it is difficult to read. Blending too isn't all that cool. One thing I can suggest you is to use a horizontal link unit between article and resource - that brings good clicks. Example - look at the "top paying careers" link in my sig and see where my link unit is in the article. This unit has higher CTR then the two blocks on the left.
Nice background, I would recommand you to use larger fonts in the body section. The text is really hard to read.
