    I am new to this google adsense. my site provides realestate listings and receive 100-150 vistors a day. The clickthrough rate on the adsense is only 0.07% now which looks like too low to me.

    here is the site watchforeclosure.com. can you please give some suggestions on how to improve the click through rate on this site.

    First, make your ads the same color as your content to blend them

    Second, surround your "foreclosure news" section with an adsense horizontal banner on top and one at the bottom. Make sure they look exactly like the news (link colors)

    That will be a KILLER! (I'm pretty sure...)

    Nice site. While you optimize your adsense ads as others have suggested, brainstorm for other ideas to monetize the site besides adsesnse.

    Remove the bottom standard banner, put the ads in between Featured Foreclosure Homes & Click a state to start your foreclosure free search. Also, make this banner as image ads.
