Too much ads on a blog?

Please don't delete this as spam this time...

On my blog, I'm currently running one vertical banner on the left, one of the right, and one horizontal banner in the middle of the page under the header. All google adsense.

Do you guys this this is too much? Or does it sound/look ok? I created the blog to motivate my sales team but decided that I might as well try to monetize it.

I would greatly appreciate some of the opinions that have a bit more experience with Adsense. Thanks, my pages is burntheships.org

Hey! I think the concept is nice however you have to first work on your color scheme and template choice. The format is too much (chaotic) and will surely drive people away. Having too much ads is the last thing you need to worry about if you don't have an appealing website. As an example, check out other competitor sites for some ideas. After that, keep the ads to a bare minimum to avoid annoying your traffic. Good luck!

Agreed with Generation.
The ads aren't THAT bad. But your template choice and coloration makes the site confusing to the eyes.

I don't like the left banner... it doesn't blend... if it blended better maybe. When you use left banners you have to use the same amount of space as the entire body (vertical) otherwise it doesn't look good.
