Must not walk, it's far too dangerous (see graph near end).

Does this include data on how dangerous not walking is to couch potatoes/web surfers - are you sitting comfortably?

Are you feeling sleepy?

I have replaced all existing advertising links with Google AdSense skyscrapers across the site.

I am interested in:
How appropriate the adverts generated are for my pages - I'm interested in whether the technology works.
Whether they generate more cash than the previous ads, i.e. do they live up to the hype?
Would they be useful for my work and for sites owned by friends and run on a more commercial basis?

I may switch back if it doesn't work well enough. I think it also gives an insight into what Google's analysis thinks my pages are about and if the adverts aren't appropriate, maybe the page covers too many subjects?

I have added adverts using Google's AdSense to the site, in areas where there is no specific advertiser, partly to see how appropriate the adverts generated by the technology was.  The adverts are at the bottom of the pages, and should be seen by relatively few visitors.  The site may move to "skyscrapers", but (technical point here) this may entail putting the top section of each page into a table (not that the software used doesn't put the whole page in a table anyway).
