    Very good site... :)

    I suggest removing the link unit. The location is not suitable for a link unit. instead, ad another skyscraper there, below the search bar. And, add a large rectangle below your logo, above the fold.

    So, then you'll have
    1. Large Rectangle above the fold, below the Podboy logo, but above the post. You can do that by editing the header.php file in your theme
    2. You'll have 2 skyscrapers in the first column to the left instead of a link unit and a single skyscraper.

    Sincerely, I don't like your 3 columns layout.
    I prefer only 2: content on left, and ads on right. I would remove all ads on your 3rd column, and place Archives, Latest Music News, and Pages on 2nd column.
    Also IMO you should remove the link unit just below Google Seach.

    Yeah I agree. The content is too squished by the intrusive ads.

    Thanks for the help guys, I always thought that link unit looked a bit
    odd sitting there. Did you notice the adbrite ads down the side?
    That is why i don't have another google skyscraper

    To be honest, your site looks spammy. Forgive me for being blunt. There are too many adsense ads which would dilute the payout per click. Minimise the number of adsense blocks and if you need to, place them in your content. Remove the other non-adsense ads if you wish to concentrate on your adsense earnings.
