    Hi Guys

    Wondering if you could tell me whether or not you think my ad placement/colours are any good.

    Thanks

    The placement is good, I noticed the ads although you are breaking the TOS by saying

    You can only call them sponsered links or advertisment, nothing else.

    Ads look good. One thing is where it says, "Your Free Resource For Advanced NLP, Hypnosis And Binaural Beats" under the main heading... is very difficult to read in that color font.

    Its best to create your own thread rather than hi-jack this one as it may not be finished.

    I find reading the white text on the gray background on the left difficult to the point where I wouldn't bother. I would imagine that color combination might be hurting your CTR.

    In my visual opinion, I think that you should pick a couple key colors and stick with them. Right now you have the header in blue, black and white. But then you've got font in white, orange and blue. Maybe go back with Blue, Black and White and make the ads look like they are incorporated into the site? And then there is that green strip at the bottom of the picture ad. The colors just don't mesh well in my opinion.

    I guess that's all I can say for now.

    Ads are well placed. But I subscribe to what donelle8 said. Stick to only three, four colors (light blue, orange, grey and white) and the text could more organized and be plain not bolded. You can try.

    also you have too much white space, i think you can reduce the size of your page and make it look more useful
    i think along with the color scheme, you should also consider a different font

    also i think the scrolling words are dated

    i think you can also make your links or navigation systems (im not sure which) prettier and make it clear whether they are links or not

    blue underlined links always make me think they are external links provided by google or something like that

    good luck, if the design of your site isnt good people might not stay around to see the great content you have
