The design on both sites is similar as I've used the same hacked Microsite template on both.

it's just ... you can not really easily distinguish between Ads and Content, mate ... your sites seem 90% ads and 10% content ... this way you'll never get visitors to stay on your sites, which is the purpose ...

Driver Shortage gets approx 36,500 visitors with 547,500 page views per year. That is increasing month per month.

The ads are relevant to those who use the site which is the aim. If they were not, I would not use them.

Thanks for the comments though!

I never thought of adding sparkling water to my juicer juices. Thanks for the recipe.

It can really take the edge of some juices like lemon or lime juice!

Glad you like the site.

About the fruit juicer site, I think you ought to remove the Google ads that are just below the top horizontal menu. They make the whole top menu look like ads instead of your own content.

I figure you're trying to make money from the ads, but like Klaus said, too many ads just puts people off.

I also found that having half of the page as eBay listings irritated me after looking at about 5 pages. I'd much rather see more of your own content. For instance, the definitions - if I want to look at all of them, I have to load that much eBay - yuck!

Thanks for your comments.

The Google ads work and I use them on several sites. The location is optimum I have found. As the ads are contextual, they provide people with relevant pages to continue their reading. From experience, a large percentage of visitors like them.

I am trialing the ebay ads but they don't seem to be as great as I thought they might be.  The whole site is aimed at encouraging people to buy a juicer and use the recipes on the site, hence the ads.

I might take them off but they are relevant. If they were ads for cd's or dvd's, I wouldn't use them.

The key to the site is relevancy - all the ads complement the content. Website marketing at it's finest!

I can see your point in that ... but in my eyes (and obviously I am not the only one) they are too much. If you can not distinguish between content and advertisement your task failed, because the people won't stay long enough on your site...

cheers

I have updated the site and removed a few of the ads.
