    Hey,

    I just launched a new site.

    What do you guys think of my adsense placement? Doesn't break Google TOS right?

    I have a few ads on every page. Are you sure you don't have Adblock or something blocking them?:confused:

    Always remember the advert placed first in the html gets the highest paid clicks, so make sure you make it to be your highest ctr unit. also, try changing the text and domain name of the black advert to a grey :)

    Hey Axs,

    this is the problem:

    Adsense ads placed bellow titles/headlines can lead to invalid clicks, and your ads look exacly as the title, isn't it?

    [​IMG]

    If you want to play safe, you can change one of the colors: from the ads or the title. You know alot of folks are getting banned and play safe is better in the long run i guess.

    Just my 2 Cents buddy :)

    Very nice layout and excellent ad placement. Everything is subtle which in my opinion is very important.

    Instead of putting it below the title, which works great for blogs, for a mini site like yours, you should instead but a square ad block within the content.
    Change ad unit on the side bar to a vertical link unit with matching colors as the links on the sidebar.
    That is not against TOS...

    Matching color with title or links is in fact suggested by google.
    When google says it is against TOS, we will all change it..

    One more thing one the search field.
    Add some padding on the right.
    The search button sticks to the side which looks ugly

    I was thinking of that, I will test that out to see if I can get more earnings.

    I tried it before the ad unit I have on there, didn't like it, it didn't look to good. It looked out of place.
    I centered it for now. Will try to fix it.

    Thanks for your suggestions Blogspotter. Rep added. :)

    Fine.. but a link unit might have a better CTR.

    Try to blend the back ground.. it should look OK..
