    Ok, so I recently switched to vBulletin with vBSEO and love it. I have been getting a lot of traffic with vBSEO however I also have seen my CTR go way down and my overall earnings go way down. I have tried putting ads in several spots, but they never get any clicks. I only have 2 ads right now because I don't know where to put them.

    Currently I have the 728x90 under the navbar, which performs Ok, and I have an ad after the first post for guests only. I'd rather have more ads for guests than members, but I don't want too many ads or for them to be too obnoxious. Also any input as to Colors for ads would be helpful.

    My website is www.OakleyForum.com

    Please Help, Thanks

    Forums normally get a lower CTR.

    Also, the contents of your site matters so is the uniqueness of you visitors.

    Try to remove image ad on top and put a text ad, or adsense link unit.

    As far as I can see you only have 2 adsense blocks on your forum..

    Why don't you ad atleast 2 more...

    But, at the end of the day it really depends on how many visitors you have and what kind of visitors they are...

    HOLLER!
