    Get rid of the tower ad - those are useless.

    Use medium rectangles 300x250 - and float them so your text wraps around them.

    Then match the color of the ad to your page background - match it EXACTLY - and match the border to the exact same color of your background as well - so there appears to be no border to the ad unit.

    That will help.

    So Im clear - I'm saying flow the ads right in with your main blog text - much like you do with the graphics now - you can use a larger amount of teaser text if the ads appear to be too dominant - get rid of that center collumn with the two tower ads -- it is not helping you at all.

    Hey Ucantstopme1,

    I agree I hate those tower vertical ads and also I havent
    got much return from having them ever on my website.

    A quick tip your adsense ads dont blend into your website,
    the ads are a darker blue than that of your website also
    some parts of the text are orange.

    Try using the 300x250 ad box above the fold which I have
    found through various tests on my websites to be the best
    option when using adsense for myself at least anyway.

    You need to do your own tests and remember to track
    everything.

    Yours,


    Laura_D

    You definitely need to blend in your ads. Also try experimenting with different placements and see what works best for you. Something that works for one webiste might work for yours.

    your ads not sticking oout and looks like ad. play with the ad size and blend in with the layout. you can use one ad box on the top of your first post and one on the sidebar. see how it works
