    I would greatly appreciate comments about my adsense placement. I am using XSitePro and feel alittle locked in with the adsense on the margins on every page but I don't know how or if I can change that.
    The site has much more to go but enough is there now to review. Bad reviews welcome!

    I like your site - it's clean and informative. My personal preference is not to have Adsense cutting through the middle of the articles of the main text. Keeping Adsense in the margin, to me, looks better and doesn't distract from the main article. If Adsense revenue is the top priority of your site I would probably leave the Asdense where it is as you would probably get more clicks.....

    Thank you, I agree about the ads in the text. When I am writing it, it flows well, it says what I intended but on Xsite Pro just the google box appears. Then when I publish all this extra distracting writing is there. But I am going to sell out for the money.... :)

    I like the basic structure of the site. I real problem i see isnt your adsense placement it is your text in general. Center justification, font weight, line spacing etc are all wrong in my opinion, I think if you worked on making that more visually appealing you can slip the adsense in much easier.

    I agree that the text is a mess. Each page is different, different text/colors on the same page. I will work on that, thank you.

    The image at the top right is blurred.
    Looks like the actual content is good.

    I would not BOLD all your copy. Break it up. It will make it an easier read.
    You could also use shading ( a light gray box backgorund) #CCCCCC or lighter to trap sections of copy... maybe the bullet point copy. This way all your text does not run together.

    Also your art or images are not in a consistent alignment. Center all these or align-right and wrap. Either one will do as long as your image placement is consistent.

    I really appreciate the feedback. You all pointed out things that were bothering me but I didn't know what adjustments to make. Your comments helped tremendously and I am already much happier with the new look. I can also see it will just take time and tweaking for several months (years?) Thank you! :D

    I am actually afraid to answer you about whether I get clicks from that single ad because I am such a newbie. I don't know how to tell that, but I do know I need to get an ad tracker system of some sort. Any suggestions for good programs? In order to tell that with adsense I have to create channels, correct? Also, I just put that single one there yesterday because I was structuring based on a post here recently that suggested pictures above ads, so I haven't had any clicks yet. :(
