Adsense Not Working Very Well

Ad placement and positioning is not your greatest problem. It's traffic. Without traffic, even perfect ad blending and formating won't get you much revenue -- unless you're happy with a few dollars a day. Spend your time on getting more traffic -- then be concerned about ad placement.

 

Don't give up! I know where you're coming from Jpauls but things will turn around. Three months ago I was struggling like you but today I just had a $40 day, if I can do it you can too.

Anyways, my advice would be for you to put a banner at the very top, turn off image ads (I think they pay less because they're CPM) and put an ad within the first post of your blog.

Here's a link I found helpful putting an ad just in the first post (assuming you're using wordpress) http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/adsense/

I hope some of this is helpful.
