    1. Change the adsense ad's border and background to black.
    2. I suggest to make the title of each ad red, or light shade of green like 00ff00, but I would go for red first.
    You can set the url color of your ad to light grey
    3. take the adsense ad from the bottom of your page and move it upwards as much as you can but without altering the design.
    the same colors should be applied here too

    Who told you that ads have to look good? :confused: they have to be effective first.
    you can let the text to white; this is how I would optimize your adsense ads.

    have fun :)

    As proposed by Earner's Vision.
    I would also change (at least) bottom format. 728x90 text does not perform well (personal experience).
    Change it to 300x250 (maybe two side by side).
    Maybe also you can put them above the fold, change the color to blend them.
    The best advice: experiment and MEASURE!
    See what is performing best.

    btw: nice site!
