Ads on my website

[Ellie]

I need to know your opinions of the ads on my website. Are there too many, are they too intrusive, etc.

Please don't just register because I posted this topic, I don't want this to be seen as advertising. I just need opinions on the ads.

There are 2 ads - one at the top of every page with a standard google ad, and one on the left with a google adsense square ad.

Edit: While this is really just for the ad, comments on the rest of the site would be useful too

Overall, the site looks very nice. I'd keep the ads where they are, not anywhere else because they're not pervasive right now and they're not unnoticeable. Just right.

However, watch out for those google ads! You only get paid if the ad clicks ring up to $100, and that can take forever or never.

I'm so used to seeing them ads on every webpage that I go to, it looks fine, man. Nice design, too. I can't to PHP to save my life.

I know, but every bit of money helps

To be honest, I've had google ads for what... over a year ad have earned $15 so far... which I can't get as it isn't $100.

They look fine, but I beleive in one of google's policies about the ads is you are not supposed to define them directly as advertisments or that google is giving you money. Or some fool thing like that.

You are allowed to label them only with either "Advertisement" or "Sponsored links" but nothing else is allowed. And the one saying google is giving me money is actually a google ad, I didn't make it

I forgot, there is also another ad, a search box underneath the shoutbox, which is google search.
