I would subdue the bright colors of the layout, like make the green navbar grey, same with the red bars, then make the google ad text all white, including the URL. Try it out white for a week, then make the text bright green, and see what does better. Also I would slap a horizontal adlinks bar at the very top of every page.

you mean link units, and you mean on every page put them under the navigation? ill try that out somewhere. You think the link units will perform better then normal ads.

[Cutter]

Yes, I meant Link Units. Put them at the very very top of the page, above everything else. Its not an issue of performing better, although I have a few sites where they do. They are good for a few reasons, one because they won't push down the highest paying/performance ads from the other ad units; which should be integrated with your content.
