My blog has a very low CTR (<.2%). I was trying to figure it out, and I think I might have, and I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it. The actual problem seems simple. On my main site http://cardinalsblog.blogspot.com/), there are relevant ads. However, when you click on an article, such as http://cardinalsblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/positional-battleof.html , there's a bunch of adds that have absolutely no connection to my topics. The problem with this is that most of my views come from the individual articles, since that's what I link everybody to. I post 4-5 times a day atleast, so I'd rather link them to the individual articles that are relevant, and make them easier to find. So in essense my problem comes down to this: how do you get the adsense ads to be relevant to the individual articles/posts? Does it just come down to the spiders crawling the web? Thanks......
In this case I think it's all about ad placement. The site is clearly split up into two parts, so when most visitors enter the site they won't be looking at the sidebar unless the content is extremely interesting to them. And even in the sidebar, the ads are very hard to notice, they are small and hidden so few people are going to click them. I rarely say this, but make your ads a more prominent part of your website. Think about where visitors are going to look and use that to your advantage. Good luck!
Well ad placement + (if you get traffic from dig stumble that doesn't convert well the best is from SE)
Use code for keywords for adsense. Not sure name of it might be section targeting or something else. You tell adsense what words to show ads for and what ones not to.
I think you have just launched your blog in this February. I think you have to wait more 1 month(maximum) to get relevant ads because you are using Blogger. (as above person told) If you have your domain it can show relevant ads very quickly.
