    Your current place looks fine to me, just try matching the colors of the ads so that they blend with your site

    You seem to have a long list of news and as people are reading from left to right you might want to place that 120x600 some were between posts or in a post! :)

    I suggest you put a 336*280 or 250*250 ad unit at the top of the post.

    I think that your blog has too many ads right now. I'd leave the site ASAP if I stumbled on it.

    Why not just test different colors and placements for a few days and find out what is really the best, not just what other people say...

    i think it looks good...

    you must actually do some trial and error..mix and match to get the best result...sometimes ...lesser blog gives you more pay

    since you are blogging about gadget...http://chitika.net would be a good advertisements program for your website

    Why would chitika be a good alternative to adsense? or should i put both? What kind of ads do chitika show? PPC? or Link texts

    Always place your ads above the fold....you want to catch their eye when they first land on the page - no guarantee that they will scroll down to see anything else.
