ramendays.com....my new (and first) website. please review ad placement.

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and new to this whole adsense thing. I've tried to implement all the tips I've been reading here into my website. Please let me know what I could do better.

Cheers,

you can put one link ads just below the header to look as nav bar .

 

Placement seems OK, but change link colors to blue, as are all of the navigation links on your blog.

 

thx for the feedback.

I was trying to do the "navigation" bar ad placement, but can't seem to find the right size ad to use. Is it possible for me to edit the code to make the ad the correct size? wouldn't that be against the TOS?

KrzysztofLis, about the blue link colors. What would I be accomplishing when doing this. I'm not trying to be sarcastic in any way. I just want to know the logic behind the statement. Would it be so my links pop out more and are seen better?

Thx again.

K.

 

so I added the nav bar right below the banner, made my links blue, and adsense have finally targeted most of my ads to fit the theme of my site. I have about 500 daily uniques, but still not one click.

I know traffic is my number one and I am working on getting a steady stream of traffic on a daily basis. I just started the site and traffic is building. I know content is important also. Maybe my content doesn't provoke people to click on the ads? You tell me.

Any of you DP members see anything else I should improve?

Thanks!

 

I suggested you to make the links blue, because I believe the contextual ads should fit the site as good as possible. In such a case people will believe that the ads are part of the site navigation and click more.

I am very surprised that you didn't get any click at all. Are those people regular visitors?
