    Hi

    Can you give me your opinion about the two link adsense ads I have above and below the 468x60 banner, is this ok or a TOS violation?

    Thanks in advance.

    My main impression is that the site is too busy. There are too many ads and animated graphics on the site. I think you're OK with the TOS, but I'm not sure.

    I may agree with you, I want to test the site and will remove the ads with low CTR, but, at the moment my interest is only about the two link ads below and above the 468x60 banner, is it an adsense TOS violation, too close to the image (banner), or is it ok?

    Thanks.

    And now, is it better?

    Retired the 728x90 banner above the header, retired the 125x125 and the 468x60 banners above the title of the post, and retired the 468x60 text adsense ad and the 468x15x5 links adsense ad also above the title of the post, inserted just one 468x15x5 links ad above the title of the post.

    I didn't see the original version, but that looks pretty good to me. I only noticed 2 ad blocks, 1 above the content and one below it.

    i think the leaderboard at the bottom would be better at the top...and put a half banner on your posts...

    Do you mean put the leaderboard above the header of the site where I had other 728x90 banners before? And about the half banner on my posts, do you talk about the 468x60 banner or the 234x60? It's not better a 336x280 or a 300x250 rectangle floating to the right or to the left of the head of the post?

    Opinions very appreciated.

    Thanks.
