    May be you should try changing the ad placement as well as format.

    And sometime you won't get a single click in 400 visits while next time you can get 5 clicks in just 100 visits. So, don't worry about it.

    Well, where is the traffic coming from? Are you tracking your stats with Google analytics? If so, you should.

    Your traffic numbers also need to improved because my site is doing 500 daily uniques and making $5 - $10/day off adsense ads.

    Yes, I am keeping track using Google Analytical. Most or nearly all the visitors are from Google Search Engine. I have changed the placement once and bang I had 5 clicks a day. Now I have 0 click ever since.

    1. Should I block any ads from google using the filter?
    2. How do I view what ads my visitors see as I am not from the US?

    Maybe you should change the Ads placesment and in the former version of Google Adsense Control Panel there is a Site Diagnostic tab, use it to check, any pages blocked?

    that's a Starcraft2 blog right?
    why don't you place targetgroup-relevant ads,
    such as for example mergindice starctaft2 products, tshirts
    or any analysis programs, such as bw chart (from StarCraft broodwar)
    or maybe an Internet Service Provider witch is offering a faster connection

    you can do alot of things but if you give a gamer offers for a housewife, he will not buy anything.
    you have to think like your target group!

    I hope the suggestions help you further

    Are the 400 visitors unique or the same few people? you need to change your ad placement and blend the ads a bit better

    Hi,

    For my blogs, I tend to avoid leaderboard ad + sidebar right ad - the CTR is awful. If I were you, I will locate 336x280 text/image ad under your first paragraph of the top-most article. Many people like to place their ad below the title, but I think that's not that effective. Remember, every case is different. Test your ad placement by using channel and a small A/B testing script to increase your CTR.

    My 2 cents.

    How do you place ads after the first paragraph in each article for blogger. I am currently placing below the title.
