New WOOT! Everything looks right!
I went through and checked all of your entries, including your SOA and NS.

SWEET!

Not so hard, eh? The interface is simple, yet effective.

New Cool, thanks

New I can't find that article I mentioned
It was on a blogger's site, talking about all of the various things he had tried with ad positioning and so on.

Basically he came up with:

1) make sure you're using the context-specific functionality in Google adwords so the ads reflect the page/section,

2) put the ads left and top, and a few within the content itself (like between posts, I guess, or in the post text), because that's where people will actually use them.

He claimed to have gotten a good multiple income over his old configuration. I wish I could find the damned link, because there was quite a bit more to it.

New Seen similar comparisons before
Basically people keep rediscovering that the more intrusive you make the advertising, the better your conversion percentage. What I haven't seen any of them talk about is whether they saw any impact on retention of regular readers after making the ads so annoying.

New ezBoard might have some data. :-/
They may not want to share, though.

I don't know if you've seen this, but it might be helpful - a little calculator on what you "should" charge (scroll down).

Have fun. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.
New I like the math, but the income per visitor is way off
In some segments you might get $10/day off 1,000 visitors, but I never came close to that.

New Re: Seen similar comparisons before
Here are numbers from one person:

You can reasonably expect that when you begin commercializing a free site, some people will complain, depending on how you do it. I launched this site in October 2004, and I began putting Google Adsense ads on the site in February 2005. There were some complaints, but I expected that — it was really no big deal. Less than 1 in 5,000 visitors actually sent me negative feedback. Most people who sent feedback were surprisingly supportive. Most of the complaints died off within a few weeks, and the site began generating income almost immediately, although it was pretty low — a whopping $53 the first month. If you’d like to see some month-by-month specifics, I posted my 2005 Adsense revenue figures earlier this year. Adsense is still my single best source of revenue for this site, although it’s certainly not my only source.

And it's not necessarily intrusiveness. People naturally look at things on the top and left of a page (well, left-right top-down languages, I'm sure). The comparison I can't find talked about size and obnoxiousness of the ads didn't really matter. Contextual relevance and position did.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Position *is* obnoxiousness
Best converting ad position is "in content". In other words, in the middle of the article, there's a two-inch break for an ad. Totally disruptive. And the more it mimics the article layout, the better the conversion.
