    The ads seem well placed, and I´m assuming they are relevant to your blog. Couldn´t translate it. Blog looks ok.

    Changed again.I reverted to my original layout of ads.But I still think the link unit might be too close to the categories links above.

    I think the average 1 - 3 % so your not far off, I wish I could give more advice on how to improve your coversion environment, but cant read blog as translate did not work but if you choose relevant buyer keywords to optimise the site for and couple that with relevant, problem solving ads on your site, that should help

    Thanks for the reply but I have no idea what are you talking about.How can I control the ads that appear?Is that possible?Where do I find relevant buyer keywords?Maybe in adwords.

    google control the ads. we publisher dont have the power to put rich ads. however a strategy to influence the ads by putting the ads closer to the title of your post, e.g. link unit in horizontal line above the title post. whatever rich keyword in the title post will definitely be the keyword in the link unit.

    Hi,
    I have been through your site and I see only one ad above the fold. You need to add atleast two ads and one link unit above the fold for Good CTR.

    I have a link unit above the fold,next to the search bar.Here is a screenshot of the arrangement I had before.There was a link unit right under my categories.The CTR was higher,as the link unit was recieving most of the clicks but I am not sure if this is allowed by google.Nevertheless the strange thing is that statcounter reports clicks every day which are not counted at all by google.

    you might not have enough advertizers in your language, so people click less because ads are less relevant.

    the line ads are only counted when the visitors after clicking the line again click the search result. so its a long process. that's' why you see that number of clicks are low. i don't use this.

    i think changing the placement can increase the income.
    thanks

    Do not put ads as ads.

    Put ads as hidden way.

    Put the ads between the posts and with matching color.

    My blog has a similar number of visits...

    If this makes you feel any better, I am doing much worse. However I have to point out I don't rely heavily on Adsense. I have had much better results with other sources of income.
    Also in my opinion any ads shouldn't be more obvious then the content (at least when content is the essence of the site).

    Put the ads between the posts and with matching color is a good advice. Use as large ads as you are able to.

    You can't expect to make much from google adsense. A lot of people are blind to ads now, so your best chance may be to make sure placement and context are ideal.

    I think you are not place your Adunites in hot places. I also have 200-400 daily visitors now but i can get approximately 4.3% CTR. Under the post title Adsense unite generate more CRT in my blog.
