    Hey guys,

    My website:

    Gain-Weight.info

    has just gone through a redesign, and yesterday pulled in just over $2 from adsense. I was just wondering what people thought of my placement.

    I know the ads at the top and bottom are too long but the short ones look weird, but im open to opinions.

    thanks!

    Very nice blending, but I am concerned that your "ads by google" is covered up a bit, it may be against google's Tos.

    Yeah you don't want to risk it, I heard it's next to impossible to get your account back once you are banned.

    Take it very seriously otherwise income will be $2 to $0 very soon. It's still in the same size ... don't delay.

    Hi,
    I saw that your "Ads by Google" is covered up. Please make changes to it as soon as possible because it is against the AdSense TOS . :)

    I just removed all the clickbank stuff from up the top, and added a 250X300 block inside each article on the main page. do you think this will improve earnings?

    I like the blending, but I'd advise you to change the ttle and URL colors. Blue links are natural and attract more clicks.

    I think you can improve it without traffic only by finding out which keywords triggered those high paying clicks to come. If they are low paying clicks I would suggest more traffic.

    yea...clicks are pretty low priced at the moment, so I guess I will have to try and find out what the higher paying ones are.

    Perfect placement of ads in my opinion, directly at eye level at 1024x768 screen resolution and a square-ish ad unit - nicely done!

    Do you think I would get a higher CTR if I added pictures? if so where would you suggest?

    Omitting some part of the ads especially the words "Ads by Google" is against the adsense TOS.

    You whoul now be worrying aboyt traffic and not CTR.. Blending and all is for inproving CTR, but when you are at 2 dollars a day, you should focus on increasing the traffic and increase the impressions.

    Don't try to squeeze your visitors for traffic.
    A very high CTR only means bad traffic, and bad content.. which is important only if you own 1000 niche sites where you don't bother about repeat visitors..

    Work on the content and traffic and income will flow...

    BTW.. Your placement is very good..
