Rhys - You are right, a lot of people have a hard time with change, especially when it comes to a site they visit every day. Placement of ads in the beginning has a lot of benefits, this being one of them. Sly - Very important point you made, giving advertisers what they pay for or in some cases more than they expect, is a great way to build interest among advertisers, and get them to spend their money. Kevin - It's tough isn't it. There really has to be some sort of balance, but at the same time we can't have everything, unfortunately!:) One of my biggest concerns was load time due to the fact that this is a pretty heavy or graphical theme. But it seemed to work out. It better when my hosting costs me twenty dollars a month. Israel - Thank you and I wish you the best on your upcoming changes.

You should definately see a better return on ads now. This is something I had to think about a lot a week or so ago as I wanted to give ads good exposure but not got in the way of content etc. :) I love your new design Patric.

I really do think that it does matter, especially when it comes to giving the advertisers what they paid for. Sly from http://slyvisions.com Nice tip about advertising space.

I disagree with this 100 percent, I think if you are able to focus on the placement of those ads it is a great way to earn money while you get going." I couldn't agree more. I feel that also if you're putting your cards down on the table from the get go, saying "This is my blog, I choose to advertise on it", then you're less likely to suffer a backlash when you choose to switch to advertising (like I did) “Many bloggers are against advertisements when you are starting out, because they don’t make any money and basically take up space.
