Joe, you have a lot of junk code in your page that isn't SBI generated from what I can tell ... see the bold areas below, I started the copy of the code right after your Adsense code:

//--></script><script type="text/javascript"

Why is that code appearing? Did you copy and paste from another program into the SBI text blocks? If so, it looks like the junk coding is coming from there, and it is messing up your ability to place the Adsense code properly. BTW, it is also messing up your html so badly that I doubt the SE's will index it properly since you have two <head> tags, and multiple other tags and coding that will likely have the SE backing out of your site in quick order instead of indexing it.

You should use the headline block to place your heading, and a text block to place your content. Once you have done that, then you can add the Adsense table and coding. I suggest you add it just after the first paragraph of real content so it won't interfere with the SBI SEO analyzer.

I wouldn't write html style if you are using the SBI building blocks, it just isn't needed. It can also be a real problem for the SE's ... improper coding such as you have can cause spiders to get confused and back out of your site, resulting in no listings, or very poor rankings, in the SE's. You don't want that!

Use a simple text editor, like Notepad (available with all Windows based PC's), write your content, then copy and paste it into the building blocks.

You can use simple html codes to produce specific results within your content and these tips are available via the SBI Resource center, or any site that offers html codes. You can also ask here about how to get a specific result and likely get tons of answers Smile

The most important thing is to keep it simple with SBI, especially if you don't understand the coding WYSIWYG editors produce.

Word can be ok, but sometimes it corrupts certain punctuation, like quotes, and you may find problems when you view your page. You need a plain text editor for best results, not a word processor.

If you need to keep an adsense skyscraper to the right of the page but force the text on the left side to start at the top of the skyscraper use the float style attribute of the span containing the adsense.
Code:
<p><span style="float: left;">adsense here</span>Here is plenty of text that will keep left of the adsense skyscraper and aligned with it's top</p>
. To see a good example of this visit http://www.realwebdevelopers.com.
