    Just completing a simple real estate blog. I would appreciate to hear from you. I am not sure if I am placing Adsense in the right position. What should be the best color combination for Adsense in this theme.

    Anyway, here's the real estate guide blog.

    I like the look of your blog. The blue urls on adsense look a little harsh so would change the colour to match the rest of the site. Being very picky, but I would also make the adsense block sit in the centre of the white border - at the moment it is slightly more to the right

    The design of your blog is good, try to change the color of adsense urls to #6F6F6F, the adsense link color change it to #000(black) .... change the background color of the left sidebar to #6F6F6F and eliminate the dotted border ....and then will be more "adsense ready":)

    Design is very cool. But it will be better if you place ads on header and footer. The vertical bar is disturbing the width of your blog.

    Thank you friend for all our insightful suggestions. I had removed the Adsense ad at the sidebar. I replaced with a banner ad from CJ. However, after a week of testing I might as well remove the banner too and will put only text links in the sidebar area.

    Good layout and great color choices. I love the fact that the font is easy to read. Content on the website is not bad either.

    design is good. Why don't you use google adsense plugin ? Most ad blocks are in the page start only.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I just installed Adsense and YPN plugin. It automatically inserts Adsense within the post. I was doing it manually yesterday. Never thought there is a much better to run Adsense ad within a post.

    It's already been said here, match ad link colors to your site colors. Also, your content is all in justify format. That is for block quotes. I would remove that format style right away. Additionally, you should add more headings into your content. Most visitors skim, and looking for easy to read headings is how they do it.
