- good placement with the ones under your post and above comments. That is a great position and should perform well.
- If you want to increase their performance I would change their color to the same color as your background to make them blend in a little more though – same with the border of the ads – and I’d make the links the same color as the rest of the links in your content.
- your ‘adlinks’ ads on your side bar – they are too low on the page for optimum performance. I guess its a matter of priroty – when you have a two column blog there are only so many things you can put up high on the page. If you want to incorporate ads into your design with the new design I’d recommend one of two things – either put your site navigation at the top of the blog so your side bar is freed up or go to a three column blog of some kind.
- with your Ad Links – I’d probably also look at ways of blending them a little more – perhaps at the bottom of your categories section you could put them in similar colors to the links there.

Just a few ideas – of course one has to also balance all this with other factors like ethics/transparency/site goals etc.

Good luck with it
