What do you think of placement and colors?

My site is http://www.hellhorror.com/ and I was wondered what you pros think of color and placement. That is like a template that I think is okay.

My main issue is a template on my article pages like this http://www.hellhorror.com/vampires/psychic_vampire/ I thought to float a div but wasn't sure if it will break ToS and I already use Divs on the site with floats so there would be some hacking.

Lastly, what do you think of this placement at http://www.hellhorror.com/movies/review/469/jeepers-creepers.html

Please be specific and all comments are welcome and will be tested.

 

Your site doesn't work? Server not found.

But I'll tell you from experice.. If you use Borders on your adblocks your CTR will go down down..to china town.

Also good domain name. Thats probably worth some money.

 

I just checked and it works, I am using media temple

Tell more about domain name, just curious

 

You web site was down

 

Its still down.

The domain hellhorror.com is just in my opinion a good reg, nice 2 word combo.

 

Strange thing is I see it just fine

what r ur specs, os and browser?

 

We can use website monitoring service.

Maby 2 blocks beside each other..hehe or a Leaderboard would fit perfectly across there

The right side has some empty space at the bottom. Maby vertical banner or button could be placed there. Other then that. Your site looks good.

Here is tool you might find usefull. Hex Color Picker You can pick colors of any part of your screen with this, and the hex code given to help you better with making your ad blocks.

I replaced this with "Advertisement"

Is that Okay and what other words can I use?

I changed the bgcolor but I also set up a random predifined bgcolor randomizer to see what works best.

FIXED
Same randomizer used plus I set up the two side by side ads. either 300 or 336 random as well
The letterboard was too big and broke design

The right side has some empty space at the bottom. Maby vertical banner or button could be placed there.
IDEA
I am considering this in the future. Might use a vertical banner or a referral button. What do you think?

FIXED
I used this and it is a great little tool and beats printing screen and then opening photoshop everytime for the color picker tool.

Thank for the great suggestions so far guys

Still taking any more tips/tricks out there
