any ideas what i can do to get more clicks from my site? I get alot of clicks but i feel i should be doing better http://www.secfanatics.com should i move the ads around or anything? change colors?
A place to begin would be to cut your number of keywords by, say, 90%...the poor Adsense bot will have no idea what ads to serve...
You could place a large rectangle left to the 'Latest forum topics" 'USA amber alerts' could be at the header with the dark background (think that would look better), there's no need to make a headline for it.
With so much going on, I hardly noticed the ads. I would unclutter the design a bit that would give more focus to your ads and hopefully more clicks.
If i were you get rid of that awfull colour all its says to me is stay away from these adds if you click you could end up in hell. I allways make my adds so that they intergrate with the site by this i mean makeing them appear less like google adds and more like links to other page white border white background black text url just the same as the rest of your page by doing this people will mistake them for your own links and before you know wham bam thankyou for the 10c click man.
they where blended in but the clicks wasnt as high as i would expect. since changing colors the clicks has went up. Im having a goood day so far today concidering it is Friday. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is usually slow on my site this time of year. In the Fall they are my busiest days.
interestingly your site didnt fit within my 1024 browser window.... so i closed it without looking..... as for those with 800x600 !!!
