It's a site for the Reading Festival. Has information on Reading Festival Tickets, News and rumours.

I was wondering what do people think about the AdSense ads - too many? Not right design?

What about the last.fm widget down the side - could this be removed and replaced with AdSense or does it work well with the site?

Thanks.

What Ads

Clean layout as Garland usually is.

Have to query the relevance of the primary links along the top,
but otherwise nice job..

Nice layout and the Adsense fits is great. The ad is the bottom right doesn't hurt anything. Actually helps continue that column down the page.

Job well done.

Thanks!

The site will be v.busy over the coming 2 weeks so might put some more ads on for the 2 week period but nothing too offensive.

Thanks for the feedback.

The data recovery one was just a "favour" and is actually used a lot for some reason!

Geek blog is my personal blog on the site.

Official site... speaks for itself

Sting the touts - site aimed at ticket touts

Strictly Leeds - sister site for Leeds

They are basically all connected to the site in some way but not part of the site

Fair enough - it does seem odd!

The general audience of people have laptops/desktops with images/music/video. From my experience, data recovery is something they need
