    Hi guys

    Could you please have a look at my site and tell me whether or not you think of the ad placements/colours are any good.

    Thanks

    IMO:

    #1 Remove "Why Not Visit Some Related Sites?" It's against TOS
    #2 Blend left ads into background (remove border and alter background to match)
    #3 I'm not so sure about those ads in the middle.....

    Hi,

    I don't really have anything to say about the site as such, but I LOVE your logo. I think it's great.

    Um, that's it for now :)


    Cheers

    Chris

    Reduce the font size...
    Makes it look amateurish... (IMO)

    Why Not Visit Some Related Sites?

    This WILL get you banned from Googles AdSense Prog.. so remove it ASAP pls.


    Blending is good: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=18214

    Left ad:
    Change the colours to:

    google_color_link = "#FFCC00"
    google_color_border = "#767676"
    google_color_bg = "#767676"
    google_color_url = "#FFFFFF"

    maybe take the image in the middle of your site, resize it to a width of 160 and put it above the ads on the left inside the same <p> tag

    Middle ad:
    much of the same:

    google_color_link = "#FFCC00"
    google_color_border = "#FFFFFF"
    google_color_bg = "#FFFFFF"

    On the font size thing, I find small fonts annoying and shows disregard for your visitors. A website is to be read, so a good readable font is better IMO. It saves hunching up to the screen and squinting. I'm sure there's a whole other thread here on Font size ;)

    I'd just change the center column...
    Don't make it tiny, just not quite that bit...

    I'd change the colour so it's darker (IMO).

    It's better, but I'd still resude the size of the text...

    Maybe to the size of the red subheading at the top of the page...
    Where it says "Your Free Resource For Advanced NLP, Hypnosis And Binaural Beats"...

    No bad. I like the colors; however, there are a lot of grey one. Is is a color of neuro industry?

    Before it was good and now its better.

    You can also place adlinks and perhaps one or two adsense unit (perhaps button, that fits in between other stuff.

    okay, i think it is definately looking better now.
    More eye catching variation from the rotating colour ads.

    Hmm, something going on there - your main content window/central column is raw HTML. Either that or the site is aimed at the ultra geeky who can interpret HTML as an actual webpage just by looking at the code. :D
