Hey I started a brand new spanking site and put up a few ads tell me if they are any good, I put ads on the actual posts in the forum as well so be sure to check out the posts you'll find a nice surprise. Also please tell me if any ads look too obtrusive and take away from the quality of the site so I can remove them. http://www.thedevnetwork.com
your placement is really great but you must also take care "Reply to Post" label above the adsense ads
yeah, the placement is pretty good, though you should display the ads to guests only because members once registered don't consider the ads anymore, they become ad blind and you'll jsut get many views and 0 clicks Good luck with your site
Neat use of the ads in the users firstpost bar..i almost clicked (and i call myself ad blind) heh.. Nice placement, wish you have success.
