Is this good placement?

    I am hoping that this doesn't look too spammy or MFA-ish because it's not anywhere near an MFA site.

    www dot findatriathlon dot com

    You will see a top banner on every page. A small button in the left menu on every page.

    On pages where you aren't viewing a race you will see a link unit in the yellow box in upper right corner.

    On pages where you ARE viewing a race (click a state then a race). You will see a horizontal link unit above the word "Date:"

    What do you think? I am hoping it does not turn people off by having too many ads or detract from the looks of my site.

    The only ad I don't like the look of is the one above the left menu. I want to remove it but it has such a good CTR.

    Nice I like it. Dont remove any of them.

    You integrated your ads nicely.

    I dont think that people will get turned off by them.

    They blend in really well.

    I like your site. I think you could still optimize your ads a bit more. I have noticed that you have not intergrated any within your content. i think if you could do that then it would pay out a bit more.

    :)

    I hope that you try each ad unit with its own channel.

    Well done. I like the site, very organized. I'm not very sure if people are going to click on the AdSense, but, they're very well integrated. Let us know.

    My advice...

    1. Get rid of the 125x125 above the left navigation menu
    2. Get rid of the 468x60 in the top right corner
    3. Where is says "Find A Race", and you have the pictures of all the swimmers, and the Google Link Unit to the right, get rid of that entire block and replace it with a 728x90. You will see a MUCH higher CTR. :D
