    Your blog has a very good overall ad placement. Very good blending indeed.

    If you may, try changing the 468x60 image ad below the graphics menu into a LeaderBoard ad. But overall, your placement is very good... :)

    I will also suggest the same...
    Each ad will appear below one of the icons and will attract good clicks.

    Change the color of the Horizontal link units to Blue.. Orange looks invisible.

    For the square below the title, either blend the ad within the post by wrapping or change it to a small rectangle..

    Thanks for the advice. I've adjusted to what you suggested and I'll follow it closely to test it out :)

    I've also decided to remove the header banner since it was taking up too much space in my opinion and I'll test it out without it, do you think that's wise? Can see the example here -

    Thanks

    I didn't mean a square for the ad unit below title. use a 468X60

    if you want to use that square, embed it within the content, because it looks like a sore thumb :)

    I've changed the placements up a bit!

    Could I have a little feedback on their new placements and look please? :)

    Thanks a lot!

    By the way, what size are the ads at the top? The horizontal ones without any descriptions under the link?

    Normally it's roughly 0.60% but with the current ad placements and this being the second day of testing with them I've got 3.39% (Which is almost exactly what I want!)

    So far these placements look a success, I've had some more awesome advice via PM so I'll be testing that tomorrow and I'll give feedback on what happens to the CTR! :)

    bad placement. put the images on the side.
    your CTR is under 1% for sure.
