Brand Spanking New Site - Please Review Placement and Comment

Hi all -

Today I launched my new site, and I'd love some feedback on the AdSense placement. Check it out:

I'm pretty sure everything's legit, but if someone sees anything non-kosher please let me know. The only thing I was thinking of doing was maybe moving the searchbar (it's my own searchbar, not google's) to the left column instead of the right.

I've been eating, drinking, sleeping (and of course, dreaming) this site for the past three weeks. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks in advance for all the help -

I agree that you should move your search box. It'll bump up the google ads and not leave that 'step' that the search box creates.

Also, you didn't ask this, but I'd do something to indicate that your first couple paragraphs are full of links. They're not underlined or in a different color so had I not moused over them I'd never have known they were clickable.

 

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I'll probably move the search bar.

As for the paragraph of links you can't really tell are links... I wasn't really trying to advertise so much that they were links. They're just internals; was hoping to help SEO more than show people they were clickable. I assumed people would find it easier to use the vertical navigation menu in the left column.

What do you guys/gals think of the black headings (links) I did for a few different categories, next to some example images of that category? I don't think they look too much like the AdSense links on the right, but I wanted to be safe. I made them way before I put the AdSense in.
