    This is the worst CTR I've ever seen. It usually is 2-3%... but 0.05% is crazy.
    My impressions are 1,937 and only 1 click???

    Try to make your ad blend in to your page, and stick out at the same time.

    What I am saying is that the CTR today sucks! It's NEVER like this. The URL is in my sig (SearchBliss). It's not the ad placements, colors, etc.

    We'll we have bad days. Not everybody gets lucky especialy when visitors know if they were really ads.

    Someday i get few clicks and other day good number of clicks.So you should consider the average not a particular day.

    This is too low. What is your major traffic source?
