Too many ads on my site?

    Do you think there are too many ads on this page? If so, what should I change/get rid of. I'm thinking from an "annoying to the user" point of view.

    Any feedback is appreciated :)

    I don't think there are too many. But i suggest changing template. That is the most overused blogger template.

    Also you should wrap text around images and put square ads on top left corner of articles. If you want to put ads between paragraphs, i suggest using 468x60 or 234x60 with no text wrapped.

    Lastly, i think you are displaying too many articles on index page. i don't know much about blogs, if it doesn't serve search engines indexing or some other seo purposes, i suggest limiting articles to 3-4.

    Its not blogger - wordpress - but I do know the template youy mean. It was meant to be temporary, and I'm busy at the moment, so I havent had time to change it...

    I'm using a wordpress plugin to insert the ads, and it doesnt give much flexibility. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into it..

    May be a few too many for my taste, but then I hate ads getting in the way of what i am looking for. Overall design looks good.

    I definitely don't think you have too many ads on the site!

    The ads are very well integrated, colour co-ordinated and generally blended in with the page and doesn't make the user feel like they are cluttered with ads.

    Nice work!

    No, there are no too many ads. In fact your text takes more attention than ads. I would consider to try to optimize ads better.
