    On my site http://no1tutorials.net/en/ , I've tried to blend AdSense ads with the site. And i think I maybe overdo it.
    My CTR is only 0.60%, which is awfull. When you surf through the site (especially through whole post), what felling do you get, did I do the right thing with the blending Adsense ads, or I need to highlight it a little bit in some way? Also, pay attention on the skyscraper ad on the right sidebar, what would be the best to do with it?

    Appreciate every answer&opinion.

    Thank you !

    0.6% isnt too bad you know. Dont be too disappointed. Just concentrate on increasing the amount of visitors to your website, and your earnings will increase.

    I see you are using the square blocks in your posts. Have you tried using the wider ad block? So that it appears a part of the post and not just an advertisement.
    Also don't worry too much if you don't get a higher CTR because if you try something hyped up, then you might end regretting it. And concentrate on getting real visitors as suggested in the post #2.

    Change the color of the ads, also in posts try to put the 300x300 above or at the middle of description.


    Anyway, the niche of tutorials don't offer high ctr.

    Try adding more ad blocks (specifically 300x250) in posts ABOVE the fold. I see you have one at the bottom, but try adding one more to the top.

    I would change the Title colors to Blue. They would stand out more and increase clicks
