Adding Google Ads

I would like to add long, thin Google ads to the left, and right, margins.

I tried to do this through the banner option, and selecting the 'left' option. But that doesn't seem to work.

Is there another way to do this? Google Ads is the most important part of the site. If I can't have that, I don't think I can have a site.

Make sure you have the active options checked and It will deffinitely show outside left or right depending on your settings. post If you got it working.

Wow I feel so stupid. :) Thanks.

Another question...can I move that ad down a bit? I set it to left...but its like at the top left, and it looks a bit odd.
