    I really need help...

    I mean I get 2.5k+ uniques/day. ... and avg. ~ 18k pageviews/day.

    Please check out my ad placement and let me know what can I do better.

    My CTR is ~ 0.43. Not even one percent. I would be making soooo much more if it was 1%....

    website is http://pimpthisspace.net

    Thanks.

    First of all get rid of the "advertise on this site" sentence on the G ads.
    You can do it at your account options.

    Second you should try changing your ads with medium rectangles. They convert much better.
    Put one on top and one on the middle.

    Third get rid of the bottom ad. It's 2 far away in the bottom. If I was you I'd change that by some vertical ad on your left frame or maybe a smaller unit in the middle of your first paragraph.

    Test these out individualy and set up channels so you can track your ads.

    But remember. Point 1 is very important. Try changing that and allow 2 or 3 days to check if you improved anything. ;)

    Remove the advertise on this site link and you should see better results.

    Try the setup I have at my Myspace resource site in my sig...I can almost guarantee you will get ATLEAST 2.5-3% if you also add pictures beside it :)
    But don't expect high eCPC :/

    try different spots on your website.. change colors.. sizes... and you will find your best layout... there is no ready to use answer for your question..

    well the medium rectangle probably helped out lot....

    not to jump to conclusions, but today my CTR has doubled compared to yesterday when i had the other ads. i'll try to tweak it a little more and maybe place a few pictures next to it and hopefully that will help out a little more.

    so we'll see how things go.

    on another note. i disabled the 'online advertiser sign-up' yet i still have "advertise on this site"

    thanks.

    It will take a couple hours......and glad to hear your ctr went up but if you want even higher just put pictures beside, works like a charm :)

    I have had opposite results with the pictures.. No matter what pictures i put near my ads my CTR lowers. And that is the case on 2 of my sites.

    Hi,

    You may want to place another medium rectangle ad and make as another block that resembles "Layouts," "Codes," "Generators," and "Graphics." You may want to place this new blok between Codes and Generators.

    This creates a disruptive effect and may increase CTR.
