    The only thing that looks spammy is the fact there are no colours or graphics. I think it's fine for a article site as people want artices not good lookin sites :D

    Spammy or not...How the hell do you manage to have 2 adlink unit on the same page?
    It's against the Adsense TOS btw...

    it looks... commercial. it doesn't neccessary look like a MFA site or a scraper site, which is a good thing.

    it has a lot of ads. in my experience, it's better to keep the ads low until you're established-- once people know your site and love it, then you can introduce more advertising.

    You could do without the two square units under Article categories:

    There is lots of other opportunity to click ads on your page.

    When I look at the AdSense setup page, the ad units and the link units are separate unit types.

    I have three ad units and one link unit, are you saying that is a violation?

    From the AdSense TOS:

    • Up to three ad units may be displayed on each Web site page.
    • A single link unit may be placed on each Web site page, in addition to the ad units and search boxes specified above.

    yes, a single link unit also considered as ad unit, which mean if you already place one link unit, you can only add 2 ad unit in your single page.

    But I see now that your website is ok, only 2 ad unit shown.

    I don't read it that way, I think you can have three Ad Units and a Link unit in addition. I removed the other just because I didn't want it to look too spammy.

    A link unit is not counted as part of your THREE ad units which you may place on your pages....

    Your <H1> tags are boring too, those are default, make it fit your site ;)

    The <H1> tags are not default, I'm using CSS to format them that way. I wanted to make the pages a little more colorfull, not just green.

    What would you suggest I do to improve them? Any feedback is welcome.

    Love the graphics (4 squares next to adsense) and the LU is well placed!

    The only thing that hit me was the moving graphic / intelliconnect and I would move the two google boxes (firefox, photo software). I know that would mess up the layout, but something about it just didn't seem right (just my two cents).

    Nice job and once traffic comes, I'm sure you'll do well!

    I hurt my neck as everythings on the left ;)

    Other than that it looks good I presume you have removed all the ads since your first post as it looks ok on this end also.
    Good Luck

    What resolution are you in? I usually make sites for 800x600 and have them positioned at the left. Do you think I should center it?
