    Hello DP-Members!

    http://www.xtutorial.info

    I just started a tutorialsite, and the traffic is starting to show :)
    So now I want to optimize my adsense setup, to earn as much as possible.
    What do you guys think of my ad-placement? Colors? Something against the TOS?

    Thanks! ;)

    Nothing against TOS there, for adplacement put a leaderboard up top, a wide skyscraper on the site, and a large square in your content.

    Make sure it matches your text/colors of your site, and NO BORDERS WHAT SO EVER.

    Make it look like its apart of your website.

    Hey, just a quick suggestion...you should prolly redo your title tag and have at least your keyword "photoshop" somewhere in it. the ad placement seems a bit intrusive since its in the middle of your blog entries. I would prolly place the ad to the side or even following even entry. And maybe reconsider about the bookmarking icons...seems like theres just too much.

    Thanks for your responses guys! I've made an update of the ad-placement. How does it look now? ;)

    And one more question, can I have one more ad in the content? I'm considering in putting one small add with black text, black title and black link, with a white background. Should blend in pretty good :p

    Hey i dont see any ads, put one up top leaderboard, one on side wide skyscrapper, and a middle one thats it.

    Make it blend thats the biggest thing!

    Max is 3 ads per page, 3 link ads per page, and 2 search ads per page (google search, its useless though really..)

    looks great...but i think the ads at the right would be better as purely text ads...good luck man

    2 days ago I got 300 page impressions and 7 clicks. I guess I just had a bad day .
