How is my site with Adsense?

    I have a website www.fantasypc.frih.net or look at my signature. I recently got Adsense and am waiting to put there ads up. For my homepage I will put one on the top and bottom. For the forums, I am thinking one at the bottom, and to the sides. So looking at my site and ad placements, how much do you think I will earn?

    It's hard to tell because you aren't showing any traffic stats. How many visitors are you getting per day? I guess they are mostly return visitors (because of the forums) so they are less likely to click on the ads.

    look forward to about 8-10 dollars a day.
    Of course it may very well be more than that

    It seems to be a bit like a forum. Forums tend to have lower CTR than sites. Of course, how much you earn will vary on how you optimise the ads as well.

    Honestly... I'd be surprised if you made much the way it was.

    Just my two cents.

    By the way, nice site, my suggestion is for you to match the background of the ads with your site's background, then you might make more :)

    And some people tend to be confused with page views vs. unique visitors.

    Look at www.fantasypc.frih.net
    Its a very nice layout, I tried to find a brown to mix with the blackish brownish adsense.
    Also we have active members with over 1000 posts.
    I already made 1.67$ with 5 clicks, and just started today.
    So what can I do to make my site better and earn more money with adsense?

    i have to scroll horizontally on my screen. and i'm on 1600x1200.

    notice that the backgrounds of the boxes on your site are the same color and in the middle adsense the background is different. try blending it so it looks the same and matches the site.

    also try a 728x60 banner at the top of your forum. you can incorporate the 4 images above the ad (but use ad divider so u don't violate TOS).

    My monitor is 1440x900 and I don't have to scroll horizontally. My window wasn't even at full screen. The page automatically fit exactly.

    My suggestion would be to put another horizontal banner ad at the top of the page. The one you have at the bottom is fine...only problem is that it's below the fold for most resolutions.

    The white border throws it off.. I think you should blend the border.

    And horizontal scrolling! Yuck!

    first impression: site is little slow to load because of all those big images.
    I suggest you remove that white border from the ads. Also use adlink on the side or top.

    I have a 15.1 inch screen and i have to scroll to right to see the whole page. Thats not a good design IMHO, most of the guys are going to ignore that right side bar. *using firefox*
