Well,

You never get if you don't ask as my mum always says.

http://www.more-web-hosting.info

Web Hosting resources site built around articles obtained from the article
directories, a couple of my own have been placed her and there. It's
a Wordpress site that has several plugins installed to aid SEO and automated
artice publishing....

Any ideas on how to improve this and get more traffic to it ??

Regards

Jeff

The first thing that came to mind was that you should change the link color in your ads to the same color of your right navigation bar. This usually works to increase your revenue, but you can always test it out with channels to see which works best on your site.

I would also place an ad in the middle or the bottom of each article.

Hi Jeff,

You have a nice overview of information that you offer from your site. Good job!

The one thing that jumped out at me was that the Google Ads have bold underlined Headlines...

Perhaps if you were to Bold some of your headlines (like "The Basics", "The WWW") that would blend the AdSense ads somewhat better. You could even test your category headlines with or without underlining (like it is in your google ads):

"The Basics", "The WWW"

Also, I found myself skipping right over the top block of ads to get to the content. Maybe moving the ads down a little will make them seem more a part of your content. I'd put the ad block after your "Your Wesite" content.

And, perhaps a second ad block near the bottom of the page for those folks who read all the way down... it gives us a natural exit point if we're not interested in more of what you offer.

Keep up the great work...
