http://www.imakeawebsite.com Please review it from two points of view 1. Design : does it look nice, appealing 2. Commercial: is it good for adsense, are the ads good placement? 3. Would it make you want to come back? Would it be appealing to read? 4. Suggestions? if anyone want to do a few posts on the site they can promote their own blog in the post or in their user bio! At the moment this site only gets 20 visitors a day as I haven't done much promotion and its not properly in google yet.
I've actually made some changes. The home page layout has now change. There is also a leaderboard (eventually will be text leaderboard). Thoughts?

Good design but the Adsense placements can be improved. Read this article about Adsense CTR improvements. I made the experience that a navy blue #000080 outperforms other link colors, even if all the links like on your website are in black. That's simply because people got used to the blue link color and therefore click them more often. Try to change the URL color to the same color as the text of your Adsense units. That way we make sure people don't look on the URL, but on the link. URL clicks are uncommon and that's why we put everything on the title of the advertisement. Don't use 468*60 banners, they do not perform well anymore. The reason is that it's overused. Almost every website uses that layout resulting in something we call "banner blindness". No one clicks on that anymore.
Your top menu is broken, web stuff comes under the first line...at least on my screen. Otherwise nice.
Hey. I appeciate your comments. The menu seems to be a problem with your browser. I'd like to say on the stats. The site is less than two weeks old. Nobody knows it existed. That's why the stats are rubish Come along, read, and post a few articles. You can submit articles direclty, submit your videos, tutorials. Help it grow. Once again, much appreciative, love to hear more comments and a submission.!
Are you talking about the 468 on the home page? If I use a 338 it looks messy as it doesn't fill the whole width. If only there was a 468 x 200... Thanks.
