Review the site

Need a review for Google Adsense placements at the following site:

Where (which part of the world) is the stie hosted? Boy it was slow to load.

Good site, nice layout - if you expect clicks on Google Ads then you won't get many - they are not blended well.

 

tracert and dnsstuff.com discovers the problem

The website is hosted in Malaysia. When the signal reaches Mayalsia there is alot of slowness almost to the point of timing out.

As for site/google ads.
I agree. Its the not sort of placement/matchup that I believe would generate many clicks. Sometimes small single ad blocks can be more effective than large blocks.

With blending there are two ways of going with it.
> Match the skin (in which case they blend into the page as if they are part of the article)
> Make it stand out (in which case eye catching colors may draw it to the attention of people wanting products/services such as those advertised)

 

Yeah the site is hosted in Malaysia, I will definately consider a server change to the US, but not immediately though. Thanks for the comments. What colours should I blend, green links to match the site?

Ah, forget that I asked the last Q. I've blended the ads. Check it out again.

You call them blended? Sorry for being so blunt. Look at the blending here: http://www.articlestonurture.com

 

Hmm well it does work for me. Still, I would like to know what you would suggest? Add borders to the ads?

I just find your ads standing out. Border won't do the trick. How about matching the font text, color and size? That might increase your CTR or decrease - you have to experiment a little to see what is beneficial.

 

OK, I will do that. Thanks!
