    You know, there are some things I would consider.

    Having 3 columns makes it kind of confusing for me to read or to even look at the website. You can't really focus your attention on the text and you keep being distracted by the high amount of ads and images you have placed left and right. I would redesign the layout of the website.
    Think about the field of vision a person has when looking at your site. I can't grasp all the page's width at once, nor can I focus on one narrow column without being distracted by the column next to it

    If I was trying to focus on making the visitor buy the product, I would
    a) Remove the ads completely, or add only a selected few in strategically chosen positions
    b) Make the text as readable as possible, possibly having contrasting colors between background and text color.

    Just a couple thoughts

    I agree that the 3 columns distract me but not as much as the moving ads, the color scheme is way off too. You need regular white page background with black text. Your design should be in your page background not the page itself.

    Just look at this forum an it's use of color. A splash of red here and there with mostly a mixture of whites and grays to give it contrast. The simpler the look, the better. The green just screams at me to click off the page as fast as possible.

    You will also have better conversions with fewer ads. It's proven that when you give people all of those choices, they will run for the hills. Give them just a few choices and you will do much better.

    Check out my blog in the bottom of my sig file and you'll see I use color but not many ads. It gives the reader reason to focus on the content which is what you want if you are trying to make a sale.
