    Hello, I've been spending so much time reading about adsense positioning and trying things out and just wanted to know if i can get some input from my fellow adsense users :)

    My site is www.evilpsp.com there is a large square ad and a search ad and I am averaging about $1.30USD a day. (highest $4.01 in a day)

    My search hasn't got a click in the past month (I just recently added the background image...TOS violation?)

    I would greatly like it if I could get some input about how the placement looks, suggestions or whatever you're thinking :)

    My site has been operational for about 2 1/4 months now and my Total earnings are $66.77 (Greatly increasing just recently)


    Thank you for your time and advice! :eek:

    How's the traffic? $1.3/day only from the link ads? That's nice :D
    You might wanna consider add another ads below the navigation.

    I'm a newbie myself... just my 2 cents :)

    I think it looks good. Shoemoney says to focus on traffic and promotion, not adsense, when you are at less than a thousand visitors a day. I think that's wise. So keep building content and links.

    As for search: has a decent CTR for me, but hardly any money.

    Looks good! I like how you put the date in bold on the other side of the adlinks, thereby 'framing' them. (Makes mental note to steal.)

    yeah i like the blending also, but your regular visitors may (50% chances) just ignore your AdSense ads to click because they know which one is an ad. So i will suggest to go for ad color rotator also, it may increase you CTR %, as it works for me

    Best of luck

    Forgive my ignorance, but I haven't the slightest clue what or how to use ad color rotators? Could you give me some details?

    Sorry for the double post but..

    Wouldn't changing the ad colors to something that doesn't blend in hurt my CTR%?

    I found an AD rotator which I could rotate ads/color but like i already asked, wouldn't it behoove me to keep my ads the same color as everything else?

    don't put color rotator on every ad, just one of the ads like your header ad or a content ad.....
    Ad color rotator will only change the color scheme of a specific ad... you can still blend it to your content only change the link color(title),
    Check it and test it, if it hurt your CTR then go back to your normal blending...
    you need to give some time to test every ad position and colors....
    But it works for me..:)
