Similar, similar traffic, similar ads, and CTR is statistically lower than on a more conventional blog theme, with 1 sidebar and a bunch of posts on top of each other. Could just be coincidence though, dunno.
myself, i hate the CNN style things because they dont flow my eye through them well, its just sensory overload and i dont know where to click or what to do.... too many options can be a bad thing, and busy web designs confuse the mind.
