    First of all, sorry for my english; i came from italy.
    This is the website: http://techforum.it/
    Google adv is displayed only at guest viewing discussion, so this is an example: http://techforum.it/f53/problema-con-laudio-e-assente-t5526/

    Here they are earnings and relative banners:

    Adsense doesn't work that well with Forums, so your CTR is actually pretty good. Your ad placement seems good however I think I would change the ad block that appears in the post itself and maybe change the background to white and place the ad under the first post instead of inside it.

    Oh and also

    i would place the 728x90 ad between the posts. move it from the top, and test the new position 7 days. :)

    and i would move the 336x280 box from the right side, to the left side. :) people read from left to right!

    This is true when you show adv to members, but i don't do it. Almost all the visitors who see the adv come from google search, they are probably trying to fix a pc problem.

    If you are intersted, this is an incomprensible italian for me. There are several pronunciation of our language, and it is the worst, i'm sure.
    I thought about it this morning. I will change this, "banner1" after the first post and wait!
    Thanks for this suggestion!

    That's actually pretty decent CTR already!

    It only looks bad because you're looking at individual ads, but 1% and a high per-click revenue is great.
