Please review my adsense placement

My busiest site is my forum, the adsense there is designed so that registered users only see the top right and the one all the way at the bottom.

Guests see those, plus one under the navbar and one after every first post. It's more of an incentive to promote registrations, than it is to drive clicks.

My other site is basically a blog: www.barrelofcrafts.com


And the third is a newly created directory, (it used to be my websdesign business site). As I understand it, directories don't make much at all off of adsense.

In total I usually make a couple of bucks a day, not much. My total traffic for all , with the majority coming from the forum is about 15k a month.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, also if you have any ideas on other affiliates that may be helpful for the type of sites I have.

Thanks Much.

 

Yeah, there's really not much to improve. You're doing all the right things and following google's rules. The first site is pretty busy in itself but I would make the titles in the top ads red like the horizontal line in your heading. That should give them a little punch, but not too much. Right now, I don't even notice them.

Good luck to you!

 

Just another suggestion about your t-shirts. I'm a cafepress user and if you make a PNG of your image and then make the letters white or a different color other than black, it will look a lot better on your dark T-shirts instead of that big 'ol white box!
May sell more, who knows.
