I earn a very small trickle of money from The Brat Pack Site, but nothing more than $50 a month. I need to add to the content but do you think placement of the ads isn't helping? Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
Try this: change your link ad colors (that's bold and underlined) to the same red as the font text on your header. I think you're getting too less clicks because these ads don't stand out.. you want them blended into your site, but you also want them to catch user's eyes.
Just checked your site again and it look great I can actually notice the text on the ads now Good luck with your CTR!
