Sounds good. As an Adsense publisher, I don't click anyone's ads... I even use Adblock Plus (shame to say). Sometimes it makes me wonder what will happen in the future when ad blockers become a norm...how many free resource sites will survive.
maybe you can use too infolinks for text links that you will be paid for and imagespacemedia for your images.
Nothing will happen because average, Home users or any common internet users searching for information or some products to buy online, usually aren't aware of ad blockers, and on the other side adsense guys keep on playing with new ads display styles, sizes and display blocks, that keeps them alive, for instance new 728x90 horizontal ad block for text only ads, these days getting a lot of clicks, because it looks new to usual internet surfers that comes from search engines.
Could you be a bit useful and actually state where the ads should be? I got recommendations from other folks and those seem to be optimal locations, they were actually slightly shifted from a previous placement. So rather than making a clown of yourself and negatively commenting on something, offer some advice if you do know so much since this forum is about helping people, not just criticizing.
It is normal. Traffic from social bookmarking such as Reddit doesn't convert into clicks. Social bookmarkers are normally surfing around the Internet and they normally wouldn't click, fill up forms or purchase. Try SEO if you want to increase your earnings from Adsense. I have been making a living with SEO and Adsense. Try it out.
