    Hi,
    I got adsense running on my Hip Hop Forums in several locations.

    I've also added in some clickbank affiliate links (I understand that this is ok with Adsense TOS Right?).

    Could you kindly look at the forums and the adsense locations (main page + forum view) and give me some optimization advice?

    Green stuff promised to the most helpful advice provider!

    Home page:
    Ads above the fold works better. You need to have your first ad above the fold. Reducing the header height help you in every sense. Clickbank links can be more integrated to forum topics, doesnt have to mimic the adsense style.
    Inner page:
    Good, ads below the first post works the best. You may consider getting it more integarted to the content :)

    Read the TOS... it's not hard to follow the rules. Two key points
    - No images around the ad area
    - No misleading headings (The text: Links, nagivations, etc)

    Try to incorporate your ad into the areas where the visitors are most focused at.
