    The the ad blends in well but I suggest a skyscraper instead of a 250x250 box or whatever size it is... also but a couple link linkes in there
    ( Google Ads: LINK LINK LINK LINK )

    Also since your aloud more than two PUT MORE THAN 2!

    If you want people to commen on your blog and not on adsense placement put it in the reviews section way at the bottom of index!

    Nice suggestion about the skyscraper, it really looks better :)
    What you mean about putting links in there? Put some outbound links so people focus more on that part, therefore, increasing my ctr?

    Thanks again!

    I disagree. Adding more ads makes your ecpc lower because of the amount of advertisers showing. I say add a 468 below the video, and have that on every video and MAYBE have the skyscraper, but I would scrap that for a CPA offer.

    You can't have that many ads! 3 per page plus a Link unit! your eCPC is so low for video sites it doesn't really matter how many ads you do!

    So... if i keep the skyscraper on the left, at the top below the header a banner and after the first post a centered 468. This would give good results or the site will be too loaded?

    Personally I say it would be fine. maybe take out the one on the top and put a vertical banner either above or below the archives ( NOT A SKYSCRAPER! )

    Yes, i know that, but i want to earn something. I opened the blog a week ago and only two people clicked my ads. I submitted it to around 50 directories, appears on google, but... still the traffic is low, i had practically 0 visitors until yesterday when the site appeared on DP. I guess i should give time to it.
