Please review my updated website, and ads.

I've just recently updared my website. I would enjoy some critiquing. tell me how my site feels, how my ad placement is, am I providing good and valuable information? I just need to re think whether I'm going in the right direction with my website, or if I need to change things up a bit.

please check my site out at www.randlife.com

Thanks,

randall

 

Pretty good but you should consider placing that first block above the fold.

 

not sure exactly what you mean by that, perhaps you could rephrase that? hehe

 

nice site, why you didnt put somewhere link unti from google

 

I thought I did, it should be displaying throughout my posts. Would it be more effective to ad a skyscapper on my sidebar?

 

Looking fine, but blocking your main text will improve things.

 

What do you mean by blocking my main text?

 

Good placement. For the URLS: change it to black so they blend in more.. you don't want the urls to stand out or else it'll look like they're ads.

 

looks great to me. maybe you can change the adsense title and url from blue to black.

 

I mean place an ad so that it can be seen when the page loads without any scrolling.

 

two suggests

* adding one square ads unit above the comment box may be an alternative.
* adding a ads unit under main menu on the rigth side may be a good alternative for you

 

i suggest a leaderboard at the top...

and i think the rectangle ad at the bottom does not help cause its too obvious...change it to a half banner or a banner...
