Yes it's nice placement... You can also use a link unit in left menu with matching colors of your links.
Good placement and blending. Only problem I have is that the 120x600 ad on the right is way too close to the login button. Just in case the placement was intentional, you should know that you will not get any money from people accidentally clicking on the "Ads By Google" button.
Sorry but my opinion is a little different. The ads just below the menu blend too well to be visible. Try to change the color to something other than blue. Nice site btw.
Wasnt my intention, just shoddy placement Ill see if i do better moving the ads below the menu down a little to make them stand out. Thanks everyone
at first, i had trouble finding your ads. and also, perhaps you could put adsense in the content as well, instead of around the content.
