What type of ad placement do you think is best for proxy sites specifically? (EX. Around the URL bar etc)

Well, first off, for a layout to be good it just has to be designed nicely. I hate when people use blinding colours and too many flashing images. And for your second question, just make sure it looks good with your layout. There's so specific place.

To make a template good, it should have good layout and designs. The banner or logo should be good. The picture should be of quality. The text colour should be better. The backgroud should be matching.

Your template should also a good-looking. I mean color combination for the background must be cool in eyes and your design must look professional and not a messy one.
