    Have I placed my ads right? And are they good colours? I am trying not to make them too intrusive but still to get clicks. I haven't had enough traffic to estimate my CTR yet.

    1. Id take off the border and change the ad colors to match your link color which is #0090da

    2. Your ads are about blogs because your website has many triggers. Your title even includes the word blog and I am sure things such as RSS, WORDPRESS, and mentions of the word BLOG trigger it.

    I agree. Get rid of the border and make the ad text the same color as the title of blog entries. Also get the word blog out of the title and rewrite the title making it longer and very descriptive. You may also want to add meta keywords text and add more description to the meta description text.

    Yeah good integration but get rid of the border, make it the same as the BG colour, again change the text to exactly the same colour as you have in blog titles, perhaps you can also put a large rectangle at the bottom of the page, maybe could attract some clicks/interest. I am not sure if the image ad on the right side will get noticed, in my experience many people have ad-blindness to the google image ads, especially if they are stuck over to the right.

    you can blend your ads more by removing the border as suggested by other members. Use adlinks just below nav bar.
    Also you can replace your default search by google search.

    Also i think if you have full posts in place of just 1-2 lines it would look better and you would be able to get better targeted ads on your blog.

    1. Take away that pink URL thing. It was good being black.
    2. You still have triggers on your page such as RSS, Wordpress, ect..
    3. It sometimes take a while for the bot to completly change ads. Yes, it does change it automaticly but drastic changes take time on complete topic changes.

    OK a few questions:

    1) Does it look better now? With an Amazon ad on the right?

    2) What's the easiest way to lose some of my 'blog' trigger words?
