    Hi,

    I have two sites I'm concerned about :

    http://www.weight-loss-discovery.com

    and

    http://www.skin-care-reviews.com


    Any tips on how I can improve click through rates ? My traffic is under 5,000 unique visitors a motnh for the Skin care site and less than half that for the weight loss site. My earnings are very low for each site - almost zero for quite a while.

    Any tips on how I can improve my clickthrough rates or traffic ?

    Thanks very much !

    Ken

    If you have so much visitors, then for both of your sites
    put color rotator for your 1st banner,
    place a link unit in left side
    Use chanels to track your each ad by putting them on different positions for some days to get idea which placement is good for you.

    It might increase your CTR %

    use lighter colors for ad titles, they blend too much

    Yup.. for that first one put a link unit on the left side or maybe use it at the very top.

    first of all, concentrate on content and to get more and more visitors to your website, get backlinks, etc. Until then, remote the ads from the begining of content area, i think that ads at the end of the articles will convert better. When visitors comes to your website, they want to read the articles and they will read it ( not the ads ). When a visitor reach the end of article, he will want to read the next page, this page can be one listed in the adsense ads, or other article on your website.
