    Hello friends,

    I have a webmasters blog and I write about 3 times a week, thats 3 posts a week..

    I am getting about 30 Uniques per day... But... no one is clicking my ads...

    I just don't know what the problem is... So... please.. tell me.. How to improve my CTR..

    btw.. the site is still new.. it was started exactly a month ago!

    Thanks in advance :)

    Websites are better in getting a better CTR than the blogs but never loose heart. To get a good click through rate, ad placement is very important and it may be blended or contrasted with the contents depending on the niche. Good luck :)

    You need quality traffic. To attract traffic to your website,
    1. Submit your site to all major search engines.
    2. Submit your site to all major internet directories
    3. Get link backs from other websites of identical theme to increase pagerank in search engines.
    4. Try to put your website's name as signature in forum posts/emails etc.
    5. Go for offline advertising like putting your website's name in your name cards etc.

    Webmaster related sites have a low CTR nothing much you can do . Try to get more UVs to increase your earnings to compensate for the low CTR :rolleyes:

    Adsense Optimization is just as important as SEO.

    There is no point getting visitors to your site that then click elsewhere.

    I have to agree with the posts above, webmaster blogs won't get that higher CTR but you will still get some. Have you tried reading the Google Adsense Help?

    yup, webmaster related sites are made for webmaster.. your readers know that you're getting paid when they click on your ads and we webmasters are too selfish to click on others' ads.

    Put the largest leaderboard banner across the top and then place the two largest style ads available on the blog. Put a horizontal link unit underneath the menu.
    Place the other link units any where you want.
