Minimum of 100-150 users everyday, 0 adsense clicks - ad placement mistake?

Can someone please verify the placement of the ads on the website? Please do let me know if the number of ads on the site is too much.

I had much less number of ads which were also not the 480X360 model. They were much thinner and wider. I changed them to much bigger ones now and also added link units. I very rarely get clicks. The site has been up only for about 70 day including today. I am happy with the rate the quality and the PR are increasing. I wasn't really happy with the number of users until a few days back, when it just used to be around 40-50 users, which now has gone upto 100-150 range.

Now this issue of 0 clicks irrespective of the number of users is a little concerning. Can you advice me a better placement of ads?

number of clicks are also depend on the content of your site. i just checked your site. there is problem in your ad placement. all ads are in between the posts. put only one. put image box ad at the top right corner. i mean before scroll the down, your page must show even two ads(including link units)

 

i would put an ad somewhere on the top banner part of the site, and place another ad above the google search box

 

try adding ads near the top of the page because when someone visits your website, the first thing they would notice might be your ad and they might click it.

i personally don't like putting ads on the bottom because if i was the visitor, the ad on the bottom wouldn't really attract me.

also, try putting ads between the content. that might works too.
try not to blend your ads within the content. ads that stands out gets more clicks in my experience.

 

it seems that you explain everything,you shall focus on one niche,not everything,then you may get high quality traffic.

 

i suggest you try to promote and do more SEO on your website. 150 is just .001% you need to promote more. and also experiment in your ads placement..

 

Site looks spammy

 

Thank ya all for the advices. I'll make some changes accordingly and test if those work.

 

gator - probably it looks spammy because I think I was just too freaked that people weren't just clicking and I placed them all over. Will change it. It does effect the site reputation.

seobusiness - I will be explaining all concepts - that was the main reason, I put up the site for. May be I should either sub domain them or just get a separate home page that list just the categories and then I have posts in the inner pages...or something in that lines might be helpful.

but thanks a lot you all!

 

Well, that happens. EVen sometimes I used to get more than 200 visitors and no one clicked on the ads.

Site is really good.But I think there are too much ads within content at the last article.

 

Ok , you want to have adsense box at the end of the articles because when people finish reading your article they want to read something relevant to the informations you had wrote so they click the add , hopely.

 

Ads are bad placed.

 

this is the right answer in short !

 

what do you expect from 150 UVs? that's like nothing....

 

ok you guys check it out now!

I changed Ad placings and removed some of them to avoid it looking crampy. Also added a few neat ad squares. Share your opinions on how it is and whether we can modify it still and make it look way better and at the same time have the ads placed to generate some kind of revenue.

why don't you monitor your adsense stats and find out if your changes are actually working or not

 

well, I will be doing that over the next few days. Just wanted to find out if it was better.

 

You should mix your ads within the content as well, instead of just above the text.

 

till yesterday I had ads within the content and then it looked like I had too many ads, so I took them out and cleaned it.
