If you want to profit from adsense it should be in the top 1/4 of the page.

You might want to add some info on mmorpg. They are big as of late.

Also you need some keyword text on the "landing page" at least. Text IS King.

Online fantasy worlds are attracting a new type of player: lawyers.
How rough is the online game world? Earlier this year a Chinese student in Japan was arrested for using a network of remote-controlled computers to steal virtual items in an online game called Lineage II and sell them to other players. And in Shanghai a man was sentenced to life in prison in June after killing a fellow player who had borrowed his "dragon sabre" in the game Legends of Mir 3 and sold it for the equivalent of $870.

The unreal world of Internet role-playing games is spawning tricky legal issues in the real world. What is a real crime--and what's merely virtual? For the players a lot of ego is at stake; they compete with millions of other gamers in contests to vanquish enemies and accumulate virtual cash and goods. They pay $40 or so for a game disc plus $15 a month or more in fees.

To get an edge many players turn to auction sites like Ebay to buy virtual weapons and such to insert into their game. That market exceeds $100 million a year in real cash, according to Indiana University gaming expert Edward Castronova. But do players have the right to sell magic swords to others for money? And is stealing a virtual item really theft?

West Virginia entrepreneur Robert Kiblinger has a thriving business selling castles, characters and other items accumulated by players on games like Ultima Online. Customers pay as much as $1,500 in cash for a castle--the equivalent of a hotel on Boardwalk in Monopoly--and swap virtual currency like George Soros swaps the real stuff.

Kiblinger says he has repeatedly gotten threatening letters from the Entertainment Software Association suggesting he is selling goods he doesn't own. The trade group declined to comment, but Kiblinger asserts his customers have as much right to their imaginary castles as the company that created them does.

"If it took a player five years to get his hands on a castle, that's a lot of time devoted to the game," Kiblinger says. "Either way, their time or their money got them that castle."

What about people who buy fake imaginary goods? Electronic Arts faced a currency crisis last year when hackers figured out how to make unlimited amounts of "gold" used to buy items on Ultima Online. Electronic Arts booted the hackers off the game and erased the ersatz gold. Nobody sued, but many experts expect litigation to erupt eventually over such cyberswindles.

"If you steal the tools from my garage, or if you steal my Sword of the Dragon Slayer and sell it on Ebay for $2,500, it's still theft," says Gregory Boyd, a onetime gamer who advises companies like Electronic Arts and Sony at law firm Kenyon & Kenyon in New York.

Other companies worry about losing valuable intellectual property rights if they don't clamp down on players. Last year comic book publisher Marvel Entertainment sued NCSoft Corp., the Korean distributor of online game City of Heroes, for copyright infringement in federal court in California (NCSoft denies the charge). Marvel is claiming that NCSoft is allowing players to create look-alike characters of Marvel superheroes such as Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk. Marvel has good reason to worry. It's released a superhero-theme game of its own.
