    Nice placements, especially the top bar. The one on the left side should probably be moved, or taken off.
    Not sure about the new TOS but: http://i12.tinypic.com/33eh3dk.jpg

    Yeah, I agree.

    Try placing the ads within the content, not above it.

    The placement of link ad unit is really good, but the one below that would be better if the color of the title matches color of "Free PHP Scripts by gscripts.net" text.

    The ad unit on left side, under the menu, would perform much better if you remove the background and make it look like a part of the menu. I recommend you replace the ad unit with 160x600 ad unit and make look like an extension of the menu system. That would make much better ad blending, IMO!

    Thanks for the feedback. I moved the top ad and changed its links color as suggested.
    Now I have to do something about the one with the background on the left side - if I make it 160x600 my directory tree will become useless - the page will be too long and it will be at the bottom.
    Please take a look and let me know what do you think about the new placement of the top ad.

    I think it looks good like this. Do you use channels, which of the units perform the best?

    The ads are pretty well blended into the site.. What I would change is the background color for your ad unit on the left, try a lighter blue? The shade right now stands out too much.

    Also, why not try some image ad units for your content area and see how that goes.

    I think in side bar you can use long format instead of one add , may it work for you .

    Hello,

    For me, add two 300 x 250 ads block on Free PHP Scripts by gscripts.net, something like that.... dealofday DOT com/deal/merchants (This is NOT my site)

    For ME the big problem with this kind of sites are, that 90% of the people that visit your website know about Adsense.... And generally We don't make click on Adsense blocks....

    My 2 cents...

    yes I use channels. The best performing one is the square ad 200x200 at the script details page.
    If I do so my site will just look like a spam site. I don't want this - It already looks crowded with ads

    Don't worry about page becoming too long. Replace the the left ad unit with either 160x600 or blend it to make it look like an extension of the menu bar. Give it a try for at least a week with 160x600 and you will know ;)

    In any case, don't forget to make it look like an extension of the menu on left (also called ad blending)

    thank you for the feed back - I'll work on the left side ad. I plan to change the template so I can place stuff on both right and left site. then I'll have space to put a long one on the left side.
