Your opinion of my new page...

I am unveiling a new page in November for the new NBA and Euroleague seasons, and I wanted your assistance and opinion of the new site, particularly AdSense placement. If you want to give me some tips on the overall look too, that's cool.

I would say put a big block right under your first news item, or above it. Also track each ad with channels at least for a while so you know what works and what doesn't so much.

As for the design, you might want to make some sort of header instead of having the text "InterBasket". Perhaps you can combine the logo to the left of that (the one that you have an av of) and some cool text and make a nice header.

 

Thanks... I can track specific pages, but how do I track ads???

First, create a channel (not a URL channel). Call it whatever you wish. Then when you are getting the code for that ad, select the channel that you want on the same page you select color, size, etc.

 

I think the adsense on the left blends in really well and I'd guess you'd be able to get a pretty high CTR as a result. As for the design... it seems very blue and not too exciting, especially as you scroll down the page away from the header and have nothing but blue and a bit of text.

 

Thanks for that, I just tranferred all that content onto the page last night and was worried about all that open space... I am trying to figure out a nice/informative way to plug up the area without cluttering it up... any suggestions?
