    Damn, I really don't know anymore what is going wrong.

    People just don't want to click ads on this site.

    Well, Adsense is not only placed in footer. Just click on any contact, and you will see targeted placement.

    I also had in the middle, and above. I don't know what should I try next. :)

    Maybe another problem is, that ads are not relevant.

    Hostaff - I got an offer for you, contact me on messenger :p

    You need to add more content. That will make the ads relevant. Now Adsense is just guessing what to serve you.

    Put adsense under your header and I'm sure you will have 200% ctr increase.

    if you got low CTR, you definitely need new placement.
    if you got low revenue, need to increase traffic.
    if you got low income, need to build more sites.

    hope this help. :D

    I am not saying that Adsense does not pay enough, problem is that noone clicks on ads.

    Your site is social. Social sites are notorious for not having good CTR and ECPM.

    I agree that you should have ads above the fold (see myspace for instance), but not this big.
    Your placement now is too dominant. Always put visitors first, income second. Or your visitors will leave and than there's no income anymore. I had to scroll to get to the actual content (and that's on a pretty big screen).
