    Hi guys.
    I have have been working on my blog for some time now. Now I am trying to learn a bit about SEO, so I hopefully can increase my visitors stats. Next thing I am changing is the ULR, so they will have keywords included. I am also thinking about writing more on one specific topic since this seems to be the best recommendation from every A-blogger out there. If you have any sugestions to improve SEO, look, usability, or anything else, feel free to comment! Thanks: http://www.jakobdk.com

    nicely done i like the adsense integrtion there on top. also i would suggest colorfull banner, its your choice afterall since you have kept it as black and white. though the right side bar banner is not integrated that appropriately.

    I agree about the right side banner. Not that I have earned anything worth mentioning thru adsense, it was not before I started my adsense in the middle of the page, that my I started earning from it. Maybe I should remove the adsense from the right side, and use some other form of advertising. The black & white is there to give the site a somewhat simple look, as well as being a lot easier to intergrate into the rest of the page rather than one with colour. But thanks for the input!

    Nice template, it's very clean. For your adsense unit on the left, try setting the border to white for better blending. Also, use a darker grey for your ad link units so they stand out a bit more.

    Try removing border from the adsense unit in the sidebar as 8 said above and place the search box in the right upper side of the blog. Its almost useless if placed in the footer.

    I am not in favor of the adsense code integrated into the post. Although improves CTR, but degrades the site. Sidebar and footer are other options for the adsense code.

    Besides that, you've got a nice blog.

    I am of the opinion that if you would provide a light based color to your main page of the website, instead of leaving it white as the background,it would then make more justice to the over all appearance of the webpage. The content material on your webpage is good. But as days pass by,I look forward to see it more interesting.

    Thanks for all the feedback! This is really great! Surely I will try to do some changes according to peoples suggestions. I am starting to make a to-do-list of changes I need to try on my blog. I will take all the ideas in here into action. Any one else who has some comments? Thanks.
