About 100-250 unique per month, need revised ad placement

    Hey, ok this project was just a side thing I made in March/April last year, this year it appears to be getting more and more uniques a month up from I think 80 in January (don't have time to confirm atm)

    It's a fan/guide site for Scottish developer Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto IV

    There are two adsense banners, one in the top right as part of the layout, and one in the footer of each page, really just there for the sake of it. Should I go around and put ads in the middle of pages or what, What do you guys recommend? I'm currently making 1 cent per click and about 2-5 clicks a week

    I know 100-250/m is nothing, the earnings is obviously quite low too, however this is the best any of my sites have performed (that I've tracked anyway) and this is with minimal effort, so I would like to just optimise it a bit more.

    Also I know I need to update some content, the opening statement for example was written before the release of the game and only slightly modified a few days after release

    Furthermore it's been a while since I've checked the compatibility, I know of some errors that somehow pass validation, will get on them when I come round to work on the ad placement

    Thanks,
    Scot

    Nice site looking site, why not make the top banner ad larger you could also try putting an ad in the middle of the text instead of down the bottom.
