Website designWhen website design is not given attention, prior to the actual website production, then typically the website will evolve in an unstructured manner until it settles to an acceptable design.

In the case of a website built for adsense around themed content the website designer has to balance the needs of the user (reader) with the website's ability to generate money from adsense. Sometimes it can be an art rather than a science to get the right balance, if the user is immediately confronted with prominent ads then they may not get to read the content, or stay on the website for long. If, on the other hand, the content is so strong and the ads are not that visible the user may spend hours on your website without clicking the ads that generate money.
