Google adsense and ads in general..

[Markaic]

I need help with adsense placement and where to put what as far as my own html..

I'm shooting for ads in the header and the right margin etc... are there any good webpages or threads that i can read to figure this out?

I'm looking for a layout like this but no skin: http://www.musclemayhem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33296 & http://www.musclemayhem.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=21

Thanks in advance, :)
