Site: Free Auction Template Editor hey guys, need another couple quick adsense ad suggestions: - Is it better to have them stand out bold as it currently does, or to blend them a bit more into the design...? - Location look okay...?I'm trying to reserve as much room for the actual editor. Does it feel to compressed in there...?
To be honest with you, I didn't even notice the top 468 banner until I scrolled up and down 6 times...
How can you not notice a standard AdSense banner? With "Ads by Goooooogle" at the bottom? AZ, I'm not a huge fan of that lime green color... it seems out of place with the color scheme of the rest of the page, to me... not just the AdSense but also the "Custom eBay design Installation" table header and the light turquoisey blue next to that. It just all seems a bit scattered (colorwise) to me... Once I scroll that off the page, the rest looks good, except that it is a very long page...
I didn't notice the top lime banner at first because I thought it was part of the other bright colored buttons. I think the colors are nice. With those kind of bright colors, there will always be some people who like it and some people who hate it. I'm interested to see what others think.
I would make the top banner bg grey to match with the same color blue links and black text, no border. For the bottom one I would match the white bg, no border
Wait, I changed my mind on the bottom one. Add another grey box under the Ebay banner and put the banner in there, left aligned. Match the bg, blue links, black text, no border.
Wow! I think this looks great! It doesn't look compressed at all! It's perfect. As for the adsense ad, location is good, I'd say trying making the background of the ad the blue color you're using, and maybe it would stand out more being the only blue thing up there. I love the theme/concept though. Nice work.
I made some changes...look better...worse...?? Side banner - I tried that; the problem with a side banner is that many of my users are still on 800X600 and the editor is too wide to fit in banner fully on the screen Out of curiousity - does the editor work okay for everybody...? Its very basic I know, but I'm not much of a programmer.
Better, IMO... at least the AdSense part. I still find the lime green and turquoise blue colors off-putting (I think they induce vertigo or morning sickness) but that may be just me...
very clean style, i like it. I'm in the same boat for the colors. I like the discreetness of the ads.
