    Very nice design for your site! As to the adsense placement, I like that you placed one in the left column as this will get a better CTR. You could also consider putting one up the top just under the menu "Home, Contact Us, & Sitemap" as that looks a bit bare.

    Also, the one you've got on the right, I'd use the same layout that you have on the left side.

    well, its a nice website, if i were you i would place an adsense block in the middle of the page, and move the "Latest" section to the right.
    good luck

    Thats a very nice site. I like the adsense placement. I would keep it like that, but place just a row of those text ads (the name escapes me) right under the toolbar, and I would center the buttons on your toolbar so that they are in the middle of the bar.
    Otherwise I think it looks good and you should be getting some high CTR!
    Thanks

    There's a huge lack of content, if you added text in all of the blank area, it would blend in the ads better.

    Try using a link unit on the page, perhaps at the top somewhere. They tend to get a decent CTR.

    Well the ad placement and blendig are fine, but I don't like the word cloud in the sidebar. It doesn't look professional.

    1. the colours of the ads works v. nicely
    2. the position looks fine

    However

    3. perhaps include an actual menu above/below the ads on the left
    4. The style of the "latest" in the middle of the page should be close to the style of the ads.

    Good luck

    Well your Ad -placement is excellent and blendig are fine for me. You can also put some text links in that blank space.:)

    You could have serious probs with big G for hiding that link unit under Control Panel TAB. It could get you banned.

    Placement and blending look good to me. More content on the front page would be nice, perhaps you could put another ad unit somewhere in the middle of the page if you do get more content.

    You need more content for higher a CTR...

    If I were you I would remove the ad unit on the right and put a leaderboard on top of every page before the content (below the nav bar). ;)

    The main section in your home currently says "There are no Items to display" making it very bare and nake. You should at least add some contents in that section.

    Yes. I do agree that after the Main Menu, from the Latest until We Support should be move to the right side. This enable you to have a 120x600 over the left side column for Adsense.

    I wouldn't use 728x90 instead use 300x300 in the main section with content wrapped round it.

    Hope this helps!

    In your articles, have a square or rectangle ad format. It's been proven for a higher CTR. :)

    Other than that, just work on adding more content and making the page look less blank.
