    what sort of ctr rate are you getting? If your ctr is high, then probably your niche is low paying, so the solution might be to bring in more visitors.. :)

    Thanks

    Try using image adverts instead and placing them above the file upload form.

    Then try putting in some text link ads as well.

    well, first thing I notice is that the site loads very slow..
    Also, in my opinion there are too many obstrusive ads (pop ups and adbrite full page ads)..

    In terms of placement, they looks ok.. I like the banner at the top..

    Maybe you want to try change the AdSense link into black to how it converts.. :)

    Thanks

    Looks like there's nothing much you can do if your niche is low paying. Only way forward is to increase your traffic and work on promoting your file hosting site.

    It's way way better now.. :)

    Good job..

    By the way, did you make the left adsense text only and the right one image only?

    Also, rather than just having the text "smartsharing.net fast free n secure file hosting!" (above the navigation), maybe it's better to make a nice header for it (you can find header designer for cheap here on dp, or you can create it yourself), then you can replace your current banner with a google adsense 728x90 banner.. That way you don't show your current banner on the site, rather just use it for marketing purpose when you want to put banner on other people's sites.. :)

    Cheers

    Well, it is good, but you don't get money with your own banner.. :D

    That's why I thought it would be better to use that banner spot for adsense advertisement and use a non-animated header for the site.. ;)

    By the way, I didn;t really understand what you meant by "low units=high CPC".. :confused:
