    Hi guys, I'm looking for you help again.

    I'm unsatisfied with my current CTR on www.fsstation.com - the ads are very relevant and interesting in most cases, and I think I could get more people to click them.

    I currently have a banner-sized ad at the top and at the bottom of the pages. I'm looking for suggestions about how I can better place my ads to improve CTR.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chief Wiggum

    I have been finding that the closer I get the ads placed to the content the better the clickthroughs have been. Maybe a link unit right after the most recient posting. You may have to custom mod your mambo to achieve that result though and that can make doing the security patching/upgrades a little more painfull.

    chiefwiggum,
    The 468x60 banner placement is ok but the color make it stand apart. More you blend with the contents more ctr you get.
    Try placing one large square AS [ 336x280] below the 'Latest News' & 'Popular' blocks with blended colors. Tell us if you get any success.
    Goodluck.
