Its also in my sig.

Thanks

 

Prilep,

I would do either a link unit along the top (728x15) instead of the banner or, I would do a vertical link unit in between the "statistics" and "links" on the right side...just my opinion.

 

Isn't that against the TOS? Wouldn't i have to add a border around it?

- Prilep

 

No,unless you want to put images right next to the ads. No images==> no borders required . Also , you could try to match your right side text font with the google's link ads ones.I think they use Arial 12,but you can check for yourself by opening the frame that the g-ads are put in , and checking the source code for it.

 

O so thats why google warned me , because i had an ad next to an image but no border i kept on asking my self Why , but that answered my question lol. Any other ideas on how to blend in my ads?

Excellent blend of Google ads.

You may take the one under home and place it jsut above the bottom double set of games.
(Just above Most Popular and Random games - make it a half baner)

Sure makes you money if you advertise the site.

thanks

 

How many ads am i allowed to display on one page? Thanks for the advice.

- Prilep

 

Would it be against TOS to take the border off of those bottom blended ones? I would think that would be very effective... having the border makes it stand out as an ad

 

Which one the one that looks like a game? There has to be a border because its next to an image. Other wise it would be really good if there was no border.

- Prilep

 

What if you shift the ad slightly to the right and inserted your own border on the left and got rid of the ad border? i dunno... just a suggestion

 

Yeah maybe I can do that but I don't know if its against the TOS. Any other ideas?

- Prilep

 

Try to make a "stopper" image near the top.

When I enter the page, I want to skip all the way to the game images.

Try with a links unit instead of the leaderboard and put a banner (468x60 text) above Home. That way link unit will look like a menu.
You can also add a small image next to the banner (I think you have enough space but I´m not sure). Of course put a small vertical line between the image and the ads so you don't get banned.

 

How many ads am I allowed to display on one page??

- Prilep

 

You can display up to 3 ad units + 1 link unit per page.

Because i saw this in the google TOS and im not sure.

- Prilep

 

Correct. You can display up to 3 ad units per page but only 1 link unit per page.

Vito

 

In Total:

3 AD units + 1 link unit + 1 picasa button + 1 adsense button + 1 firefox button + 1 search bar

Of course you don't want all that in one page.

 

aww why not? a page looks great with about 3 sentences of content and all those ads

 

Lol. Don't have too many ads. I thought you can put as much as you want (ads) on one page lol.

this is certainly allowed - and better looking, usually.
