    If it's the blog in your sig that you are talking about,
    I would try to change the color of the blog post titles
    so that the Adsense red links will stand out.

    - Remove your skyscraper ad on your sidebar. Having it will hurt your CPC more than it will help your CTR.

    - Put a rectange 160x90 link unit in the top left of your sidebar. A lot of eyes are drawn there for navigation, and those ads look like navigation links. Plus, it doesn't take up much room.

    - Your leaderboard catches eyeballs, but it looks like an ad despide the blending. Almost all leaderboard ads look this way. I've never worked on a white background which makes it more difficult (I think), but this is a spot you want to be more creative in.

    On my site a 160X600 text ad in the sidebar usually gets the most clicks. Try it out.

    Try to optimize your ads palcements.

    Try different ad units; 250*250 ad unit can help you increase your CTR.
