    Hi guys

    I need some help with my adsense positioning please. The site in question is the one in my sig, so please have a look. The main page contains no ads, the adverts are within the posts - so take a look at a post or 2 to see where I'm positioning the ads.

    Now, for me...I think they're in good places - but I get such bad CTR's so they're obviously not. Today for example, 200UV's which was 500page views resulted in only 2 clicks, so barely anyone is clicking the ads.

    I know there is no magic recipe, but any constructive criticism or advice is welcomed.

    Thanks
    Chris

    Why don't you use 350x250 means square ads just below your post title and blends it color to your post colors . Check my blog setting i have same like you but added ads in main page too . Check inner page of my post you will see ads in box style and i get 5% ctr on it . DigitalMail

    hi,

    Having ads in forums and expecting a hight CTR is foolish... Think about it...how many times have clicked on an ad in DP? Usually users are interested in the discussions rather than click on the ads. However, you can drive traffic from your from to other sites with adsense. :) Hope this makes sense :D:D:D
