    Your ads don't seem to be targeted at all, and if they were, well, your topic is MySpace -- what kind of CTR could you expect?

    Also, "finally I got some traffic" kinda sounds like you got a Digg link or something of the sort. All those big sites that give you a sudden burst of traffic usually come with really bad CTRs since the traffic isn't targeted.

    It's not just about having traffic. You need your traffic to consist of people who are likely to want to buy whatever your ads are advertising.

    Has nothing to do with blending and more to do with external issues

    Look at the ads served

    Web Designing and Trading Commentary both not high on the list of tweens who are looking for myspace tools.

    Next there are 1000s of these mspace sites but only so many advertisers to go around...after the chunk google takes there is little left to pay others so the ads earn a penny or two.

    This is why I have my myspace resource sites listed with YPN much better revenues ,,.,,,

    Is a good start :) I think try to do some few tweaks, probably will give you better CTRs. Good Luck
