Suggestions for placements: Is this the best that can be done?

Seems to be perfect blend Yukio..
A few suggestions though.
1. The link ads which is right now at the lower left, could probably to the upper right, right above "DANCE 101"
2. Maybe a big google sq box (I think that is 340x230 or something like that) at the bottom of the center column right above "Archives"

And also, you can add a google search somewhere on the page. It would help searching your site as well and trickle in some $ as well...

Did you read Google´s adsense optimization page? Have a look. Most of what you are asking is discussed on this page. https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/static.py?page=tips.html

I really like the blending that you did to... very unobtrusive. Did you design the teplate yourself?

Thanks,
