Greetings!

Interested to hear your thoughts on my use of Adsense.

A new design will be launched in Sept. at which time I will ask to reevaluate.

As well, I am not sure I am making as much as I could be making with the traffic and content on my site. Keyword payouts are pretty low I guess for my content.

I only saw one Google ad block in the middle. It fits well with the other content and links around it, and should draw clicks.

Are you planning to ad more Adsense ads on other parts of the screen?

I couldn't actually see any AdSense anywhere. Even your search was not a Google search box. Why not try that?

We have ads on all the article pages.

I just implemented the ad links at the bottom and they seem to be doing ok.

We also have ads on the celebrity profile pages.

I've been playing with keywords on our site...

I've noticed that on some pages, I simply don't get any ads. The site has such diverse content that most of the ads I do get, do not pay well. This site gets almost 60,000 hits per week and the click-through rate is good but many of the ads are paying only .03 each.

Something I've tried with some success because of our use of the leaderboard, just below the <h1> tag, I insert a 120x90 ad link. For some reason this seems to cause the leaderboard to display fewer ads, which pay more.

It works like 90% of the time. I don't know why but I'm pleased with the results. If anyone has other suggestions on how we can improve our ad performance, I'm all ears. I've tried everything I can think of to get higher paying ads, even rewriting some of the content.

Thanks,
