    How much traffic are you getting? Look at the unique visitors, not the impressions.

    Aslo perhaps that changing the title color of the ad with the content text color of your website would be more efficient (i`m talking about the right ad on your website)

    Just a few suggestions...

    1. Try moving the image of the beach to the bottom of your text (after your intro paragraph).
    2. Use text-align: justify and not text-align: center on your paragraph text
    3. Darken the color of your text and increase it's font-size by a few pixels.

    Also, isn't this just an exact re-post of this thread ... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=91300 :)

    Thanks for the advice!

    Jackburton, how do you see how many unique visitors?

    I made $1.37 on the website I made two days ago.. so i guess that isnt a bad start!

    Are you using Godaddy hosting? They have a free stat service you can access, but you have to activate it first. Do that in your website control panel. Otherwise, if your host doesn't have free stats, you can install one of the free counters to check.

    You should probably remove the "Sponsors" text over your skyscraper. It's kind of redundant with the "Ads by Google" text already underneath it, and you're doubling your visitor's perception of the Google ads as, well, ads. Otherwise, I would recommend left-aligning your columns instead of centering it. It sort of clashes with the left-centered ads in the 336 boxes. But if you really want to be brave, I would recommending testing the site out with just either the 336 box or the skycraper (re: one ad on each page) for a week and see how that converts as compared to your current two ads per page setup now.

    You centered your image ("tropical.jpg") but you didn't close it out.

    At this part of your code:

    <center>


    <img src="tropical.jpg">

    Just add:

    </center>

    after

    <img src="tropical.jpg">

    that should close out the centering.
