If you want to improve your design, don't ask a bunch of geeks. Ask your users.

Automate the process of doing A/B studies. In other words, make it easy for you to test a different layout against the existing one. 10-20% of your users should see the test design. This will give you concreate data on how your changes improve things like stickiness and ad clicks. Keep what works. Rinse, repeat, get rich :)

Thanks for your input. The 4 sites have been launched recently, so our user base is quite small at the moment! We are getting feedback from other channels too, but we think getting comments/advices from geeks is quite valuable (especially regarding the use of AdSense, the Amazon associates program, and the concept in general), even if those comments are short and simple.

And I guess your strategy for ads placements will probably be more relevant later on, if the traffic ever justifies it.

Apparently, Google provides a way to automate A/B testing...

Geeks can be users too!
