Any Tips To Increase My CTR?

    Hello there!
    I own an image host and have put some AdSense ads on it. I noticed that I have a very low CTR (0.10-0.05%), and would like to increase it to at least 1%. I know it might be very hard to do so on an image host, but every tip that might increase the CTR by 0.01% will be worth gold for me :)

    As the most visitors check images I will give you a link to an example image so you can see what my visitors see and from there tell me what I can improve.

    All help appreciated,
    Kalle :)

    Why dont you try a horizontal link unit right below thenav bar in the image page?

    and a leaderboard ad unit above the image too

    Also the top left ad make the text balack and use a half banner there instead

    Do let us know if it helped you.

    Regards

    Maybe you can shift everything over to the left slightly and squeeze a skyscraper over on the right.

    I had a period with only the one at the top with AdSense and the one at the bottom with AdBrite, it was at that time I got 0.10% CTR, and before that I only used one channel for all blocks on that site.

    So I have updated the ad placements now. Instead of a text banner next to the site logo I put an image banner. And I put a leaderboard above the image and a big box under it. What do you think?
