I think I did a very good job on my ad placements on my forum. The click rate is nice and the income growing monthly. However, I am always open for new ideas or critique/feedback. Be hard with me www.patientenfragen.net (it's German) StarBuG
Google might not like the text links at the top as they sort of look like they are navigation for the page
Last month they made 20% of my income for this forum I wrote google after I implemented them first and they said my site is within google TOS. I have them running for over a year now on 2 of my forums.
Please, give me feedback. Be hard! Positive feedback is nice to hear but negative feedback helps to improve things
