Playing with the layout ...

Move the side bar down to be level with the top line of the original post.

Indeed

There are _quite_ a lot of ads. (Do I hear farcical, anyone?)
I'm sure I saw 4 google ads on one page, hmm...

Only one question:

Are you going to give us any idea of the results? Not talking money, but some idea of whether you get more or less clicks would be very interesting to hear.

I don't mind the tower, but that large block in the #2 post position isn't improving my experience. Very willing to live with it as an experiment though if the answer to above question is in the affirmative

Richard - it's an experiment

I'm using the same sort of techniques on another board with a lot more traffic and a very different demographic

I'll let you all know what's happening after a week or so (need to give it a bit of time to see if it makes any difference)

Whatever happened to the idea on the Adsense sharing plugin?

Whatever happened to the idea on the Adsense sharing plugin?

People started posting about Google kicking people off adsense due to Digital Point etc., so I shelved the idea
