    I have added ads to the body of the posts on one of my photoshop blogs. the traffic is great but despite the ads being right in visitors faces, they get no clicks. I had ext ads rectangular and CTR was 0.25%, now with image ads it's 0.37%, eCPM is still the same. Here is an example posts, but it's same on all posts.

    Same placement on other sites has CTR of about 10% +, so can anyone have a look and please tell me what's wrong? is there anything I miss? I know i should have added them maybe slightly higher on the page so visitors wont have to scroll down to see the, but i would not want to give up on the layout i have now..

    I can only see the image ad, but are your text ads blended?

    Part of why the CTR is low IMO is because a large part of the content is the pictures, so people scroll down immediately to get to the pictures.
