| Your Blog is pretty good! I like the theme a lot, and the color choices, however this is one thing that sticks out that may need t o be changed, your adsense color scheme. You may want to try making the advert background color so it blends in with the rest of the site, the less it looks like an advertisement the better your CTR will be. Just an idea thought, your site is very informative which makes your adds relevant, always a good thing. |

I think your blog looks great! It's nice to see such an informative adsense site.
I didn't see the original adsense scheme before you redesigned it but the way it looks now is fine. Wait a few days and see if your CTR improves. If not, try changing the link part of the ads (i.e, the underlined part) to match the colour of your links (#001B80) which is what google recommends for optimising your CTR. |

Very nice layout. I test changes every month.
You can try Yahoo Answers too. The key is to already ahve the answer on your BLOG then yse it as a resource link.

I'm seeing an empty Adlinks Unit, a PSA tower, and nothing where I think a 336x280 or 300x250 box should be. Doesn't look like ads are being served.
I would be moving your archive links further down on the left column. I also think Performancing isn't going to be the most successful ad network for you while you build traffic. I would consider taking that down entirely for now to push the Chitika ad up further on the right column.
Good luck! |

| hi techbeam..you need to do a little experiment on ads location.Moreover, your blog is full with ads..so..maybe you can rearrange it to blend the ads with your post. Goodluck with your blog |

You're going to get more clicks on those adsense ads if you make the links blue, not black. I've tested this over and over on 100's of sites, and blue links always get more clicks by a longshot. I would also get rid of the google search box at the top and put your large rectangle there instead, so the whole thing is above the fold. It will be the first thing your visitors see.

| I would go read Google's new terms for Adsense before you commit to any changes. From what I've read and people have said, you need to have Adsense stand out from your other ads, and I believe that goes for your content too. Google doesn't want their Adsense blocks on people's site mistaken for someone elses ad.... at least this is my understanding... |

Hi Stephen
This is the reply what I got from adsense team.
Thank you for your email. I understand you'd like us to review your blog
to check if you've placed ads per our policies. Please be assured that we
regularly review sites in the AdSense program for compliance with our
program policies.
If we notice that your site is in violation of any of our policies, we'll
send you a notification letting you know of the policy violation.
While I cannot comment on the exact placement of the ads, I looked at a
few pages your blog and noticed that they are for now in compliance with
our guidelines. I would encourage you to go through the 'Ad Placement' and
'Encouraging Clicks' section of the Google AdSense Program policies page
to get a better understanding of the guidelines you need to follow while
placing ads on your site.
Google AdSense Program policies:
https://google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&topic=8423
For additional questions, I'd encourage you to visit the AdSense Help
Center (http://www.google.com/adsense_help), our complete resource center
for all AdSense topics. Alternatively, feel free to post your question on
the forum just for AdSense publishers: the AdSense Help Group
(http://groups.google.com/group/adsense-help).
Sincerely,
Bhavani
The Google AdSense Team

| Hi thanks for the useful info, would like to suggest another interesting blog, which is blogfeast.net where your blog topic will have adsense advertisements. If you give your adsense code, your blog topics will carry a couple of adsense ads or more, and if it is clicked, you get paid. |

| Surprised to not see Pinging the blog directories in there. Ping-o-matic is a great way for getting both links as well as traffic. Another one is StumbleUpon but I guess that falls under social bookmarking. |

wow. I can post again.....EDIT this later.
EDIT: I remember reading something about the "disadvantage" of ping...I think it has something to do with SE indexing your site when it's not ready or properly optimize and in the end risking your site getting banned on major SEs....Any comment on this? |

Pingoat works just fine, however I prefer www.ipings.com for a few reasons: 1. It's pings more sites than pingomatic. 2. It pings faster than pingoat. 3. It has more additional free tools on the site than either pingomatic or pingoat. 4. It's mine. :-)

If you like to earn a bit of adsense money, Ebay and Amazon revenue, you can set up your own hubpage. You can look at my example at http://hubpages.com/_autopilot/hub/autopilotprofits
You might also use it to direct traffic to your site. It's a bit like Squidoo. |
