    I am dire need of a review with comments on my Adsense placements.

    http://www.thepaweb.com

    I have two 160x600 verticals running down each side, I have a link unit after the link listings.

    The banners on the sides and header are from AMR Banners and are not Google ads.

    Any constructive comments criticism will be much appreciated since I want to increase my Adsense revenue to more than $0.00 per day.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello, I would advice against labelling the adsense blocks with "advertisements" if you can do without anything it would be better. there's already the ads by google, you don't NEED to label them as ads. Adsense only say that if you label them something then you should use sponsored links or advertisements, and not "check out those wonderful links" or "help me out by clicking on this", they're not saying you have to label your ads.

    Other than that I don't feel like advising you to add a third adsense block or even adlinks, because your pages are already really packed with ads.

    I removed the 468x60 in the header and the large banner from the footer.

    Anything else I can work on. I don't think it looks that cluttered with ads now, but still very low click-through rate. I also need to work on increasing my traffic.

    If you have already a lot of peoples who visit your site frequently, you can try to randomize adsense color palette for prevent ad blindness. The color of your ads will change at every refresh just like the ad from the header of this forum.
