Need help with placement :: Reviews appreciated

Im in process of re launching my site and placed some adsense ads on some listings and on my footer. I'd appreciate some feedback on the placement I used and colors.

Please, fix the url.

 

sorry: www.autogearbid.com click on any listing and look at the description : ) ad will be to the right and on the footer

 

Very nice site design!

I think the google placements could do with improvement. The leaderboard in the footer probably won't get that much attention. Looks nice (good color integration), but ads near the top will probably get you a lot more clicks.

You should try a Link Unit near the top, maybe between the search box and the "back to home page" bit. Would probably integrate nicely into the design.

 

Thanks for the compliments Simon. I like your idea I will throw it on there to see how it looks later on today. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

your design and ads blending is very nice but using a link unit under your header and using one ads unit under your main menu can be a good alternative for you
