    Hello,

    I've enabled adsense ad on skotgat.com since 3 days and since then I am getting good impressions as per my traffic but nothing changes. CTR is 0 and so is the earning. Any help? experiencing this issue for the first time.

    The placement seems OK, try some text ads and make the ad's text color as a link. And for crying out loud remove those annoying pop-ups, I wouldn't stay on a website that has pop-ups for more than 2 seconds... I believe you should remove clicksor...and your CTR should rise. Think about your visitors first and then about money.

    Your traffic rank is quite fine and ad placements are also good. The loading time of the site is annoyingly high. But the basic problem as many over here in DP will tell you is actually with tech blogs. There are so many of the techblogs and most of the users or visitors are 'educated'. they know what an ad means and hardly clicks. SEO, and Techblogs draws least clicks. It might also be seasonal, will improve or vary with time. Dont worry.

    500 impressions is a joke, since it can be even 50 unique visitors and with such a low amount of unique visitors you can't expect to get many clicks...

    With the slow load and popups, that may be driving some of your traffic away before they click on anything.

    This is most definetely the problem. Most can vouvhe the fact that a theme and ad placement is a tiny portion of CTR - 70% or more is all in the audience.
