1500 visits - no clicks

I think your site looks fantastic, and the ads blend. I really don't understand how clicks work; I've been playing with google adsense too. Someday I'll know the secret

 

Thanks for the compliment but thats what I mean, people want to stay on the site and not navigate off-it. Any tips to get more clicks?

 

I agree with others that the top banner is useless, I went to your site and I didnt even looked to the top banner

IMO try to put an ad on the competition section. That should increse your clicks

folow this exemple:
familyfirst.com

 

that top banner isn't a google ad, its a banner exchange so i'm not botherd about it. The competition section is old and hardlt gets any traffic

 

choose a good ad place like top or in between your content.... and try to use large rectangles...or skyscrapers...

 

Have you visited my site?

Ads are inbetween and inline with my content.

I place 1 ad on top, 1 sqaure ad embedded in the content for a wrap around on the left and one add inline with the content.

Not sure what else I can do here...

 

if you got that many visits and no clicks there really is something wrong, your ads may not be showing or something.

 

did you think peoples didnt clicked on ads becouse they dont like what they saw ? just a question ... but ....

 

Thats what I thought at first. I'm using the adsense deluxe plugin and sometimes the ads do not show in the first instance, they come back when the page is refreshed. Doesn't happen all the time but enough to probably lose me a few clicks....

Having looked at my site the ads are pretty relevant on each individual post

 

If your traffic comes mostly from SE then it's really weird that you are not getting clicks at all.

 

You're telling me.

I figured a site like mine should have AT LEAST a 5% ctr if not more.

 

I just looked at your site, I don't know either. lol

 

You need more relevant ads to get more clicks.

Inorder to get relevant ads, you could try-
1. Section Targeting - This method is to place special keywords between the most relevant content on a webpage. Google then, will use this content specificall to deliver more targeted ads.
2. Competitive URL filtering - to filter out urls from which ads are displaying in your site.

 

a lot to read... focus okay, don't take adv in head, I also still learn about take adsense like in my web
