Created a new website about 3 days ago, know I won't be making any money for a while, just want to check with the adsense know-hows and review my placement- the url is at http://benefitsoffishoilforhealth.blogspot.com/ thanks!
You can basically look into your Google adsense account and look into the Heat Map. there is no better one that that. otherwise you can experiment with your ad placement as it will take time plus you need to colors that go with it. Sheely77
I think one of your posts is causing the side panel to appear further down on the right as intended, I could be wrong but doesn't look right to me. Also, 2/3 ads are placed like 3 posts down on the page. Move them up higher - right now you are relying on people to scroll down the page in order to see most of your ads. The coloring of the text ads can be a lot better also. I would spend as much time as it takes fixing this, CTR is going to be low if you keep it as is. Good luck!
yeah, thats on the homepage, on individual pages i have 2 ads above the fold, and one at the bottom of my posts, if you want you can take a look here http://benefitsoffishoilforhealth.blogspot.com/2009/05/fish-oil-for-dogs.html
First change the layout of your blog. There are many free templates available. Get some good templates. Make it colorful and blend it according to the color.
I will say, you first start working on traffic. Unless you get minimum of 50+ unique visitors, you won't see any earning. And you will get frustrated to see your account...Anyway I visited your blog, I think you have implemented 4 content ads...since only 3 can be shown at a time..there was a huge blank space in the sidebar..
your adsense placement is good, but I am not sure with your free domain name. Try to get your own domain with your own IP address, that the search engines recognize you better and faster.
