Help me with my ad placement/integration.

What do you think of my ad placement/integration so far?

Great site, I spent about 30 mins there before i posted this :gl:

The ads are nicely integrated to the point where it looks like part of your site. That can be good design wise, but I have found makeing them stand out with a different color scheme results in higher click through rates. You have to decide...nicer design or more money

Thanks mediaspree.

Well here is a short and sweet story of what happend. I had them blended ok and they did decent CTR, I changed the color up to a red border and my CTR dropped. So now I went to ultra blend. hehe

To me red means "STOP" "NO" "BAD" try a happy color like green or blue :hehe:

Indeed .... very good placement from my point of view.

I wouldn't suggest the border ...

but I'm not that good anyway if you change it and have better stats .. then better let me know

So you would suggest changing the whole ad to those colors? the border? or just the links?

I like it all the way around. Looks good, integrated well, and a great idea and implementation. I too spent some time there, while only planning on looking at the ads themselves.

BOL,

i think you should make them a dark colour like black as the site is a grey maybe they will go well together

I think with a grey backround it would help. Very well done overall

I like it a lot. I have recently been developing a forum as well, and I understand what you are going through. You want to optimize your profits as much as possible, but not at the expense of your members. Good luck!

I've seen no change in CTR as of yet. Ugh. On to plan B.
