    I have been changing my webpage around quite a bit, and I am trying to finalize a look to base the evolution of my site off. This is what I have so far. Any ideas for optimizing my adsense? Right now my CTR is .54%!!! So I need to change something, lol. Thanks!

    Do you have any color suggestions for a college site? I felt that the colors I chose would hit home more to the audience I am advertising my site, but I see where your coming from. After awhile of reading, you kinda get lost in it. Thanks

    PS. thanks for fixing the link name, lol

    Well I don't know whether college people like dark text/light background or light text/dark BG, but I would say at least make the text not blue. I think I read that it's not good to use black text or white text, it's better to use dark gray text or light gray text. It makes it easier to read or something.

    You think I should change the body text to grey? What about my white links?

    Yeah, if you leave the background as it is, I would make the text a very light gray. The links should be fine.
