Ad placement and site review please

Hoping someone could take a look at my site. How it is for ad placement and site design?

I have considered moving the sidebar from the right onto the left - if this would make any difference?

All suggestions and advice welcome...

Excellent placement and blending. I wouldn't change a thing. Someone else may think differently.
I like the picture heading you have. Beautiful!

 

Header has excellent blending.

what could work is a 250 x 250 image ad within your content area.

 

Thank you very much for your comments!

Severything, there is actually a larger add under the title of each post, when you click on the post title. It is a text add though...would you suggest changing it to an image ad?

 

Very nice nav blending

Try adding some horizontal banners under the first two posts titles.

 

whao! great blending in the header
the skyscraper ad you have used on the sidebar is not noticeable
You can also use a Banner ad in the start of the post and blend it well

 

If you wouldn't mind taking another look. How about the new ad? I really don't want anything too intrusive - but I want people to notice it and click - so obviously I am trying to strike a balance...

I will try and think of something regarding the side tower.

Any more thoughts?

 

Excellent postioning of Ads.Color selection is Good . By the way which is theme.

 

Thanks for the comments. Theme is BlueGlobe which I have modified slightly...

 

Go with the banner under the 1st post title.. trust me man it works!

 

Thanks - I really want to use a banner under the post title, but for some reason the 486 pixel wide banners mess up my site. It looks fine in FireFox, but with IE it throws the posts right down the page.

Maybe I can somehow modify the theme to make it work - but to be honest I am not that good with the code...
