    I did a redesign on the Valentine's Day and changing the theme (PS: I don't make the theme, it's a free theme)

    Any feedback and criticism will be highly appreciated (blending of ads, layouts, etc). Prefer not to have a feedback about the theme, as it's not custom made anyway

    The Adsense link color is not the same as my other link colors (orange) though..do you guys think this will be a problem? (users not clicking)

    Looks good. The ads stand out and if one were looking for something they're advertising, there is no reason for them not to click!
    I like the layout, with all the content on one side and the ads etc on the other. Keeps it simple and clean.
    Well done and good luck!

    Thanks, Auscan... I think that the Adsense clicks are dropping though, because of the Skyscraper.. last time it's on white background and the position is quite good and clear...

    Another issue I'd like a feedback on, currently the Adsense links inside the posts are in Blue (default) whereas it's supposed to be in orange (default link color inside posts). Should I change this to orange like other links or do you think it works better in blue?

    I like how you did the adsense - mainly because they are not overpowering the content of the site.

    Nice site, but are you allowed to put adsense ads on same page as the peelback ad thing (sorry, don't know the name)?

    That's the Adtoll's peel ads.. I thought it's ok as long as it doesn't look like adsense ads? (Google's TOS)
