Hi all,

I've subtly integrated the list ads at the top of the left column and some in the body/article with a graphic to draw the attention of the users eyes so I'm kind of using two different methods on the same page.

The site is still under construct (rebuilding a once dated crappy site) so I only have the ads on the homepage for the moment, but plan to add some to all pages when done.

I like the way your site looks. Very clean lines & it's hard to distinguish the google ads from your other links.

I wish I could create a site that looks like that (but a different topic of coarse)

Thanks Pamz.

I built this site using XSitePro and the header I created using NetStudio Easy Web Graphics. The articles were imported into XSitePro from Article Automator.

Very nice. I like simple designs; its easier to get the visitor's eye drawn to the Adsense ads immediately. In your case, moving your ads above the fold would really facilitate that.

I'd suggest having content on your site besides an article you got from a directory using AA.

1, 2 or even a 100 other sites have that same article up. Why would Google give your pages any ranking?

You need some "original content".

If nothing else take the snippets of the articles generated by AA and using Traffic on Steriods rotate 10, 20 or so articles. The also add some "original content".

You can get 250-350 word articles written for you for $4-$7. Try JustArticles.

Hi Plugandplay,

Yeah I will be replacing the homepage with an original article that I will have writen from a writer off Scriptlance so what you see as a homepage is just temporary filler.

Then I plan to add RSS from RSSeq on all the pages to make each orgianal and constantly changing. This site is far from done, basicaly just the template of the final project.
