Please let me know if you think I should change the placement of the ads on carbhealth.com. I'd like the ads to look like content - since that's what my visitors are coming for. Most visitors stay an average of 20 minutes on the site, so I want to be subtle without screaming "I need money" before they get their content. Since I launched my new design lastnight, revenue is up a little bit ... but it's always up when I launch a new design and then it teeters. I need to know if the ads really fit where they are... as far as whether they inspire clicks or get noticed enough. And should I put more ads, or are these just the right amount? Do you think they'd do well in one of the right side boxes too or just leave them on the left only? Also - any comments on the site design would be helpful too. I plan to change the font colors and logo for every season but keep the layout the same. THANKS!
Site looks really good - nice and slick... Your ads are out of the way at the bottom left of the page, you might get a better CTR if you move them into a 468x60 horizontal banner in the middle of the content where you have the link unit at the moment. They are blended pretty well, I'd be tempted to brighten them up a wee bit so that users notice them.
You have good positioning so far, I'd recommend also positioning some ads in the top middle of your content as well, probably in the 468x60 format
