I've been great at adsesnse, got roughly a 2-10% CTR after reading this forum. On one of my sites, www.breakingmusicnews.com I get around 1000 people to look at news, or music videos etc. I said to myself, why not make my own adsense style ads, with links to affiliates so I can get Click throughs. So I did.. My CTR did lower a little bit, but I still got some clicks. Out of around 80 clicks in 2 days, no one actually converted. Please help. http://www.breakingmusicnews.com/music-videos/rihanna--sean-paul---break-it-off.htm See how the ads are formulated above?
What are you trying to convert? Entertainment traffic is hard to convert into sales. Leads is easier depending on the offer.
The only way you are going to convert with an affiliate product is to offer your visitors something they want. Since your site is music, you would offer music-related products. 80 clicks in 2 days seems incredibly low for 1k uniques a day. If you've already selected the proper music products, maybe you should work on placement, etc.
make your ads a little bigger or put up more ads on the side. You have a lot of content, I like your site, but because people come to read your content, they will barely notice the ads
