IDEAL AD PLACEMENT FOR OUR LAYOUTS
If you do not have a paid account, follow these next set of steps to achieve the best ad placement:
1. Go to your Customize page
2. Scroll down to the section ' Choose a Page Setup'
3. You will see a drop down arrow for 'Ad Placement'
4. From that drop down arrow choose 'Horizontal' and then 'Save'
5. Again from the drop down arrow choose 'Between Entries' and 'Save'
the reason we're changing it twice is because, now when viewing your comments or friends page, instead of the ad being on top and blocking the picture, it will be in the sidebar.
