I am fairly new to the SEO game, and was hoping someone (or a few someones) could take a look at my site The Games Hot Spot and just give me some feedback on SEO issues, Adsense placement, etc. Thanks everyone, I appreciate it!
i think your site needs more definition between each posts. your banner and links on the right are very deeply colored, yet the sepeations between each post is barely visible. it's hard to read. are you just using the default color of adsense? you might want to ummmm change it to the color of your site, you don't need a darker border around it iether. you could try a 728x90 banner at the top instead of the link units and why'd you make the ads by google black? it just kinda stands out and doesn't work with the rest of the site you could use section targetting as well to get more relevant ads too
I'm making some changes now - let me know what you think. Maybe the individual post banners should be at the bottom instead of the top of the posts?
Is there any way to get more relevent ads, or do the banners simply scan the content of the page and apply relevent ads as Google sees fit? Anything I can do to the page to help that side of things out?
SVZ, you my friend are a genius. Thats just what I've been looking for. EDIT: I've updated one of my banners with the new color - see what you think.
