If that's all you can do, then you really do have a problem. I can see the cheats and not even see half your adsense ads - why bother having them way down on the screen when the rest of that screen is blank?

OK, perhaps I'd better explain better in detail. The 160x600 2nd and 3rd adblocks on the right don't perform very well - but they do get some clicks. The reason for the third 160x600 ad is that some pages are a lot longer.

If you look at the forum for example, you'll find that the three 160x600 ad blocks stacked vertically below the left navigation bar don't even come to the end of the page.

However in answer to your question I've thought of getting rid of the second 160x600 ad block and replacing it with a 728x90 leaderboard at the top. I've also thought of moving the 160x600 ad that would be left up the page to where the ebay ads are currently. My point is that I optimised things to the point whereby making further changes recently (whatever I did) just decreased Adsense revenue rather than improving it.

Maybe it's me, but I've got 1,100 pages of real content (700 - 1,500 words per page) that only took me two years to write...

Yeah well, Google seems to like short pages with not much content on for some peculiar reason. Don't ask me why. Some of the pages have 700-1500 words per a page - for example the GTA Vice City PS2 page has 811 words. If I was aiming for 700-1500 words per a page I'd be writing reviews of the games, not just codes for them.
