Need help to increase my CTR

    Hi guys,

    First of all I'd like to introduce myself because this is my first post on Digital Point. I've been browsing for a couple of weeks and found some useful information and decided to join the community! ;) I'm fairly new to building website for AdSense and SEO stuff and that's why I need your help.

    I've recently developed an online Rubik's Cube timer for speedcubing (http://www.rubiktime.com). it's fairly nice and even if I'm not in google top 10 listing I'm managing to get around 150 visits per day because people really like it. I placed this week an AdSense banner on the site just to make a bit of money out of this thing (that wasn't my itention at first) but I'm getting very low CTR (around 2%). Can you guys advise me on how to improve my CTR by looking at my site?

    Thanks a lot!

    Ben.

    Put in more ads! Normally this will help Also. Put a leaderboard above the timer and below it like this:

    |adsense|
    | Content |
    | Content |
    | Content |
    |adsense|

    That way they will look at it more

    Thanks for the answers guys!
    And particularly to wiseassoffice; It's very nice from you to provide a potential "banner design" for my website, I really appreciate it! I'm currently working on the next version which will integrate much more with banners as it will be less "graphic based"...Much more easier to move things around.

    Thanks again,

    Ben.

    Thanks, hey I never knew there was such a thing as rubix cube timing. Learn something new everyday. You should do pretty well with your site.
