There is a thing called ad blindness. I have them show at the top 2/10 of the time, on the left 2/10 of the time and the other 6/10 of the time there are no ads.

I acutally got more clicks that way.

It's kinda like, how many times do you even look at the navbar? But if that area is where the first post is 80% of the time, those 20% of the time ads are going to get 100% face time as oppose to 0 with ad blindness.

Also people read from left to right, so the left side is the best place to put them. Try to not make them blend in as much. Different color links work better. I like the white border with white background, and then wrap a typical vB table border and header around them.
