    This is my opinion;

    I believe merge with template increase ctr, i see some your ads(428X68) obvious on top, try to blend with content, such as;

    from your post -

    New Housing within Canada has experienced a 1.3% increase in the month of April being considered further proof that an increase in the housing market here in is Canada is slowly starting to pickup steam.Clear skies are expected to continue until later in the year.

    Players within the market continue to predict a “Housing Market Cool Down Period“
    in the later part of 2010 due to raised interest rates, the implementation of HST -{adsense here}
    in Ontario and British Columbia, new housing rules and regulations, and this not to
    mention the current economical mess taking place in Europe that’s currently creating ripples across the global economy.

    Here’s an excerpt from an article found posted on Yahoo Finance.

    And adsense for link, should be near most likely popular categories, such as

    Catagories

    o American Mortgage Info
    o Buying a Home
    o Canada Real Estate
    o Canada Tax Credits
    o Canadian Finance & Market News
    o Canadian Mortgage Info
    o Home Renovations
    o HouseBulb Related
    o Selling Your Home
    o Uncategorized
    o Your First Home Info
    Ads by google
    text link
    text link
    text link
    text link
    text link

    Blogroll

    o Compare Home Loans
    o Forex Picks
    o Glass Pool Fence
    o Instant Payday Loans
    o Philippine Stock Picks
    o Stamp Duty Calculator

    Anyway, more blended, more likely will make some readers think that adsense part of your content/articles. play with illusionist optical. Try it!

    Great advice. But, by doing so, does it then diminish the experience for the reader?
