Impressions per click

    I am completely new to Adsense. I had run a site a year back, and kept fairly up to date on everything, made some great money, but then I got out of the game.

    Now I realize I don't know anything about it. I am currently getting around 180 impressions- and no clicks. I get a few clicks here and there, but not many. Is this from poor placement?

    What other things would you suggest to me? (links, guides, etc)

    Here is my blog:

    For your skyscraper ad on the sidebar use these colors to blend:

    Background: 869497
    Border: 869497
    Link Title: 29282B

    And the rest is fine.

    I have a site that gets that many impressions daily as well. You need way more to get even 5 clicks a day.

    I tried out your suggestions, looks good now?

    I didn't know you could alter the google ad colors by yourself...thought you had to use the editor on adsense.

    Try putting an ad block in each article and wrap the text around it. Either that or just download an Adsense plugin. :)

    Which is it? Some or none? 180 impressions is fairly low so I wouldn't expect many accompanying clicks.

    Oh, I meant in the long term. I get about a click a week or so.

    It's up to 230 impressions now, still no clicks. Got a penny from impressions! Yes! :D

    are you copying the contents from elsewhere?
    All the results from your site is Supplemental Result. Probably you need to work on this.

    Of course not! All my content is fresh, created by me.

    What's supplemental result mean? And why is it bad?
