50% or more CTR is possible using an ugly theme. As long as content is unique, there is no problem with google... Here is an example of a site that uses an ugly theme raking more than 50% CTR http://hotcbdeals.com/
The chances of getting kicked out from Adsense will increase if you use made-for-Adsense sites. I know, that rule isn't in their rulebook, but that is how it is.
I agree with you, except that this particular theme is wrong because the title is just above the ads and so could be seen as labelling the ads.
I don't think you say it right.. this is not an MFA site... that content is unique and see, the page even have a PR.. It seems you did not see the "recent posts" down below and the privacy policy, about, and contact pages Tell that to the developer of the theme and the owner of hotcbdeals.coim who is a master internet marketer at warrior forum.. Nope.. it's a myth... don't see half of the articles under the title too?
Haha, I really like this cleaverness. It is very creative. Users dont like the site and click the ads to find what they want. You are the man
Well, whatever really, I speak not from a myth but from an email I received from adsense representative giving me 72hours to comply otherwise my site would have ads disabled. But whatever really, it's fine like that since it's not mine! If you'd like an advice it would be to add the tags between title and start of adsense/article, but doesn't sound like you want any advice, fine.
There is a word "advertisement" under the title before the ads and I think it's enough for you... The people who developed this theme are not just adsense nebies... They are running a couple of hundreds adsense niche sites since 2004...
Here is full details regarding the theme and why it is ugly...Read this please instead of asking me non-sense questions... http://onlinecashgenerator.com/blogging/how-to-earn-cash-online-boring-memo-wordpress-theme/
Thanks for sharing the site. I've checked it and I'm going to try it doing the ugly site next time. Hehehe. I wonder where do they get traffic. I don't see the PR.
It's PR 1.. use PR checker... It has also a lot of incoming links http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=http://hotcbdeals.com&y=Explore+URL&fr=sfp
Hi so-called expert... Explain to me why google will kick out a site that has 1. privacy policy page and about page 2. unique content (non duplicate) 3. only 1 adsense block If f you can explain to me then I will voluntarily give-up my acocunt... BTW, the site example is not mine.. it is owned by the theme developer http://onlinecashgenerator.com/ Before you make nonsense comment, make sure you can explain... Google does not ban sites just for ugly theme.. google ban sites for illegal clicks, duplicate content (when the original author complains), and and violation of TOS... Tell me which TOS this theme violated....
I tried this method before but still i did not get more than 50% ctr.YOu must be really lucky person.
