I changed things around at both Random Fix and MicrosoftZune.com. Links are http://www.randomfix.com and http://www.microsoftzune.com. Can you guys please tell me what you think of my ad placement and if they're too big or too small or too invasive?
Your ads at RandomFix.com seem to blend in well IMO. I almost clicked on your horizontal link ad unit a few times thinking that was your actual navigation bar...so good job there. I haven't been to your other site yet, but will shortly. Just wondering, but what do you think of my ad placements on my site www.motivation4life.com ?
Your microsoftzune site looks nicely done as well. The ads blend in good with the surrounding text. It looks clean and professionally written, and I like the way you used more ads within your copy. Good job.
In regards to your site, I like the text link ads across the top. Have you tried playing around with the colors of the links and the text of your ads? Try that with your site and see how that works.
Do you think that the text of my ads should be something other than white in color? I have my link color as blue within my ads, think I should change that as well?
I think the white background works the best for this kind of site. Since the ads blocks are already closely integrated with your content, there is no need to draw further attention to them with colored backgrounds. On the random fix site, I suggest maybe changing color on the 728x90 at the bottom since it is not integrated into the content and needs some attention-getting color. Looking at your source, you also have two 728x15 link units at the top of your page, but only one shows (only one is allowed). Not sure it hurts anything but should probably be removed just for good measure. Didn't look at the other site, but will.
