    Hi,

    The right hand box and "download" box look good, i can see you've done a good blending job there. In that the ads look like part of your site nav or extra content so i'd expect a high clickthrough there.

    As far as the top banner position goes, i'm not too convinced with this placement or at least the way you've blended the ads in. Sometimes it's good to have a totally different UI for ads, in that athough it doesn't blend with your site it stands out more and alerts a users eye to that section.

    Therefore i'd recommend a less blended approach to the top banner, add a border and some more colours that make it stand out. Sometimes it's good to mix your strategy on page.

    Obvisouly track these channels separately and see which ones do well.

    A good source on ad placement is the google heatmap :

    Good luck!

    Thanks for that summary :)
    I have changed the top banner to stand out a bit more. Is it better?

    I would put a horizontal links unit below the menu. Track it with a separate channel for about a week and then decide if it makes much revenue.
    Such placement works fine on two of my sites

    How many link units can you have per page? So far I have 2 link units and 2/3 normal ones.

    Looks good to me, as suggested on this thread make sure you track it separately. See how it goes, once you have a few weeks data change the scheme for a couple of days to compare.

    good luck!
