Hi, www.NerdyCrap.com I'm new to Adsense (added it a few days ago) and worried I'm making rookie mistakes and perhaps could be missing out on potenial income by placing my ads in bad areas. Check it out and tell me what you think, please. Regards,
Hey there! To me it's not the ad placements, it is the background that I am not in favor of. I would change it to white and have ads with blue links on a white background as well. No borders. You see we are naturally used to those things. If you visit Google or Yahoo they all have white backgrounds and blue link ads. So when we come to other people's website we are more likely to click on the ads if they look familiar from our previous experiences with other sites. Just my two cents!
I agree with vitalbusiness - try removing the border. Also, consider bringing the adsense block into the post content, rather than outside and away from it; that isn't where eyeballs will be!
Nice url i like it. The comment above are good the colours you have used are straining on the eyes which will not encourage people to read that means read ads aswell. However i think the block (square )add is well placed you should just add a space after it to give it space from the text.
