Stephen - If you say stick with the inline placement, then why the hell do you have a huge 728 at the top?

The new template looks good. Is that a custom design?

You should stick to the inline placements. Anything else has become a waste of time:

OK, I have turn the AdSense on for now. I’ll let it run a few days to get an idea of performance and then project how much more it will make in Q4. Then based on those findings, I’ll decided if they should stay.

Actually, turning on the ads now will get them ready for Q4. If you look around on some of the post, you’ll see blank ads because Google hasn’t spider the information yet. It can take up to a few days for that to happen.

You can go ahead and put them on if it were my choice I am that used to seeing ads around the internet that a site with them doesnt phase me or make me want to go away.

They don’t look too bad to me. Personally, I would probably prefer them off, but it’s not like we’re discussing IntelliTXT here…

I think their value in terms of the experiment could well exceed any cash value. However, I would personally would think of a cut-off point ie a value they should exceed in order to justify their existence. If they’re worth $500 a month or something, and you can use that to directly cover your diaper budget then go for it.

You’d be crazy not to. Your site comes up a lot in many high paying search phrases (mortages, investing, etc) and you probably have enough traffic to warrant it.

Unlike personal blogs like mine, it wouldn’t be a total waste, and probably worth doing.

One more passenger on the MONEY TRAIN!!!!!!
