Any ideas how I can improve my adplacement?

    Hey,

    I'm not new to adsense, but I do have some trouble finding the right places to put advertisements. My site is http://www.panic-at-the-disco.info.

    The current adplacement is working alright I suppose, earning less than $3 a day.

    The left linkunit itself earns 80-90% of the money, and the other ads are just .. there. What do you think I can do to improve adplacement?

    Thanks!

    Looks like you have all the places covered with advertisements...
    The left side ad group is getting clicks because people are chancing it may lead to some content.

    By the way was there any content? The menu thing is a neat trick but I doubt it will bring any repeat visitors...

    Return visitors isn't much of an issue -- I have 300 uniques per day just from MSN (SE)

    That's pretty good considering ...

    A few suggestions:

    1. Replace the 468x60 ads with 336x280
    2. Don't hide your <h1> tags (by setting their color to be same color as the background). Google is wise to that now.
    3. Eliminate the space between your current 728x90 ad and the rest of your body's content. There's like a huge 50px gap there for no reason. :confused:

    yes you should add more content, thats for sure. And then you can add another ad unit near the end, like the one you have added above the content.

    Also, change the color of the google ad links. like you have done for the left link unit. A good option will be to use the dark blue color you are using for the heading 'New Panic! At The Disco Lyrics, Videos, Pictures, and more'

    Fixed it up a bit, what do you think of it now? Oh, and do you think having the button under the navigation is a good idea, or should I get rid of it?

    Ah, I see you've decided to use the old image caption trick. That should shoot your CTR up about 500% :D
