It's very true. The overall look of a site will cause the ads to either compliment or clash with the page. By the way, both of your websites do have nice templates and work well with both your content as well as the ads. Hi Jim, I appreciate your comment. It’s very true.

I didn't see your ads, but I run several online magazines (TheBoxingMagazine.com, FlavorsAndMore.com - to name two) and I have the right side set up to have 4 small ads and then one big one (the size of 4 smaller ones put together) over them. I actually sell the space, so it's necessary with my business model to have the ads there. It seems to work on some sites and not on others. I think it's the overall look that either cause the ads to compliment the page or clash with it. The competition and sheer volume of ads online can be overwhelming at times. As an advertiser/marketer and a consumer, I see both sides. If I enjoy going to the sites, eventually I "see" the ads. If I'm just surfing, I'm blind to just about everything other than the information I'm looking for. Sorry to ramble on!
