    1) Blend the link colors

    2) Find a better ad unit/placement and then blend

    3) Change the green URLs to blue

    I think freewaywebhost has really bad placement. I had to scroll down to find the ads. All the main information from the site is visible when the page loads so there is no reason for a visitor to scroll down and click the ad! :( Try placing it in a sidebar or something.:)

    It looks ok to me at uploadfx.com. However, I think you can improve your clicks by adding a horizontal link unit right under the tabbed menu :)

    Experience and try out :D

    uploadFX: Change the red to blue. Also, consider getting rid of the FF button, moving the Google photo organizer to where the FF button currently is, and then moving your ad unit above the "Upload Now" box

    Easy Forex: Change the green URLs to blue

    Hi!

    I checked out http://www.easyforexinfo.com/ only (as I have financial web sites too) - and the first thing that I can tell is that I would blend a bit more the ads, for example using only leaderboards (728 x 90) and putting them in the "flow" of the text.

    Just my .2 euros... ;)

    Cheers

    Hi, thanks for the input! I have one question - should I use the leaderboards, or should I use the really skinny ones like the ones I'm currently using on the articles? (http://www.easyforexinfo.com/forex_trading__an_introduction.htm , for instance).

    Thanks a million! :)

    uploadFX: The unit looks good, but I would actually place it above the "Upload Now" box (so the white background of the ad unit will blend with the white background of the page)

    Forex Info: Much better. I always match the color of the title and URL because it gives the page a more consistent color scheme ;)

    What you call "the really skinny ones" are actually called "Link units" by Google... ;)

    Anyway, I'd go for the regular leaderboards, as they are one of the most effective ad formats around.

    Cheers
