I recently started a gardening and photography site, please review the adsense on the same. http://thepizzazzy.info/
My immediate reaction was 'where are they?' You have no ads 'above the fold', so only visitors who are bothered to scroll down will see them. Try placing a horizontal block above the first post. I think there's an issue with the size of your header graphic taking up so much valuable screen space.
Ok. Will place one before the post. About the header graphic, I need to check some other themes though, i customixed the theme a lot.
I agree that the header is way too big, instead of cutting it try resizing it. Your site links on the top are covered in part, by that flower. To truly monetizing the site without making it intrusive there should be an adsense block higher up instead of people having to scroll down to see it.
your theme is very nice i think adding a an ads unit or a link unit under your main menu will be a good blending for you
Make all link colors the same as the links of the content. Change the background color of the vertical link unit exactly as the right menu background color. Use this color code #5E8F1C
I made the neccessary changes, this blending is working I got my first 2-3 clicks. But my traffic is very low. Any suggestions on that front.
Everything looks very nice. Only one small thing maybe, header image a little bit big- How did u make it btw, It looks like a template- from where though? -BoyThatMarkets
The header is big, cos I thought it makes an impact. I made it lil smaller but don't wanna make it any more smaller. Its a theme image but I customized it, the original had a lemon instead of the flower. Good work right!
Can anyone here tell me how to make the google adsense fonts same as my post fonts. I can see that in other sites the fonts blend well with the content. In mine I feel they stand out, Help!!
you cant change Google adsense fonts but you can change yours. And take a look at sarvpriya.com for ads placement. May be that will help you in deciding.
I hate the big header, but it works. It tries to steal my eyes from the content, and the battle lands me looking right at your ads.
Thanks... I couldn't have quite put it really that way but even I feel it works. Let me have it around for some time. And amanpeet thanks for the info but I will keep the font also for some time cos the google ad fonts are really small... but i saw www.mouthshut.com and there the google adsense seems to be having different font. Don't understand that. Anyone has any idea how they managed?
I came to know from a friend that it is for priviledged publishers that google adsense can be customized for fonts etc. So, giving up that option for the time being today I changed the adsense text and link color to match my page. Now it blends perfectly.
