Stacking Adsense units - can it look OK?

    I was experimenting with Google link units and regular old Adsense on my new site. Then I figured why not try some image only banners too. But I've ended up with this monstrosity: http://www.jethealth.com/custom.php

    Would you recommend dumping the image? dumpging the regualr adsense? dumping the ad unit? stacking them differently?

    Right now I think it looks too messy so how would you clean it up?

    I'd definitely dump the image ad unit. You can also try moving the text ad unit to the top, and using the link units at the bottom of your page.

    As an alternative you can put the link units to the left, in your navigation bar.

    PS. The site looks strange in Firefox, you should check that out.

    Move one ad unit over to the left bar.
    Banner, I am of a mind to leave it where it is, but move the text link ads either at the top, or eliminate.
    EG////keep the banner, no text links in main body, and text links on the left bar.

    And more content! One dinky paragraph not saying too much is certainly not enough. Write an article or get someone to write an article for the main page.

    The main page is fine IMO. The content page I'm using as an example certianly needs a little more content. It's on my list!

    I'll never understand why people stack their ads, especially the ad links and banners on top of one another. It just looks soooooooooo ugly.
