    This is my new website www.backlink.gr

    I've put adsense just at the left so i would like to ask if its something else i could do to "boost" my earnings.
    I believe that the niche (seo tools) is quite good and i could earn some money. Please review and give me your opinion.


    Thanks in advance.

    The problem with seo tools is like every other topics for internet savvy people: they tend to click A LOT less than regular people..
    But an easy fix to your template is to show the ads without having to scroll down the window on a 1024x768 screen resolution. At the moment adsense is hidden at the bottom = bad.

    Also, you can't label the ads "links" but to know that you have to actually read AdSense policies yourself..

    I changed links to sponsors but i cant replace the position. It would be unfriendly for the user :/

    Well, no ads at all would be even more user-friendly. You have to make up your mind.

    Yes, that's often what happens, people want adsense "just to help pay the hosting" but don't want to put adsense where it should be, so they end up complaining that adsense doesn't earn enough.
    The best ad placement is very easy to know, you don't need anyone to tell you what it is, you can work it out by yourself, simply change your mindset: have a good look at your site, imagine it's not your site but the webmaster offers you an ad on his site and tells you you can have the ad anywhere on the site and any size (choose between ad size offered by adsense)
    Then you'll know where are the best location for adsense.

    ---
    OK enough with that, my other advice would be to add adlinks blocks and also an adsense search setup to return only results from your site.
