Feldon We have been trying to get Google AdSense to display better ads, but after months of trying different settings, blacklisting hundreds of vendors our readers have no interest in (plumbing supply cos, wiring companies, really?), now all we’re getting is Plat Farmer and Account Selling ads.
It seems Google AdSense doesn’t have any ads that you guys would like to actually see. I am currently looking for a banner ad company that will show appropriate ads, such as movie banners (non-flash, no scary music!), upcoming MMOs and other games, and just cool stuff people might actually click on.
For the time being, I have disabled banner ads. In case you haven’t noticed, there is a Donation box over there on the left side. 😉
As long as the new banner ads we get arent the type that expand to envelope the whole screen with an itty bitty close box hiding somewhere in the mess of an add, then it will be all good =P
I had the same Adsense issue with my site. One fix for me was to, type key words in just below the site banner. I hid those by matching the text to the background color so they became invisible unless you tried to find them with the cursor and held down the left mouse button. Adsense works great, “in theory”. Personally, I had to give it a nudge.

This website displays a lot of ads that are similar to what I would expect to see here (although a lot of F2P ads). Maybe see what they do?
