    Hello everyone,

    I have this site , using adsense, I was just wondering if you could tell me what you thought of the placement,

    I am trying to keep it user friendly and not " in your face " with ads, so people enjoy the site , not like other sites that are just full of ads, so I set them in places I thought that were ok,

    Tell me what you think

    Thanx in advance

    I think the Google Ads look fine. Blend in really well with the rest of the overwhelming pink!

    The moving ad at the top centre of the page is annoying to me. The benefit of this is that the eye skips it quickly and is greeted by a Google Ad that doesn't instantly look like an ad (due to the blending).

    I don't feel like there are too many ads on the page due to the blending (and the busy nature of the page).

    The colour ads (non-Google, non-blended) appear at first glance to be the only ads on the page; this is what stops it being over the top, I think.

    Overall, if revenue generation is your main aim, you may want to experiment to see what works best for you.

    Good luck.

    I echo adpd and Richie_Ni's comments. I would also remove that moving ad at the bottom also. It just creates a spammy look (probably a rotating ad so may not be there each visit).

    You should also consider breaking up the Hosting a Baby Shower section into short readable paragraphs for easier reading.

    You did a good job of blending your ads though.

    Thank you for all the kind words, Yea the baby shower paragraph is a way bit long, I am going to fix that, The flashing ad at the top is fastclick, I tryed to blend that in as much as possible,


    I really am thankful of the comments

    I thought the PINK would make all the moms think the site was very friendly :)

    BUt one question on the top ad :recommended downloads
    Why this at the top of a baby site?
    I would move it down to the bottom where that eye killing shaking ad is at.

    And the fart button? On a baby site? Nah.

    Maybe it is just me, but I would rethink the pink. It seems kind of hard on the eyes. My opinion is that the white on pink background (for the whole page, not just the adsense) may not be optimal in getting people to stay on your site and read your material.
