    Hello.
    Here is some info:
    less than 0.7% CTr
    I have google AdSense on my blog, under the post TItle, where it should have the most clicks, but as you see the CTR is really LOW, what am i doing wrong?

    The black header is the eyecatcher, almost missed the ads below...maybe increase the header height and put them there, white text/links...and make sure to get rid of the "Recommended" above the adblock in the sidebar, it's against the adsense TOS.

    Tnx, ye i deleted the "reccomended" title under ads.. Well i thinking to add bigger google add under header, not in it. Or try with others affiliates, what you think, which one i should choose to get more clicks that from google? I get like 400 views and no clicks, thats insane

    CTR has declined severely for me in the last two months. It's not just you.

    Hey check out what I did under my top toolbar it converts really well. I added a 728 X 16 (think thats the size) text link unit and made it black... See my blog below. I think you'd do really well with ads there.

    I would try and blend the bar all the way across the screen, you should do pretty well though with that. I wonder if the color of your toolbar will have any effect? Lighter toolbar tends to draw attention to the Google Adsense.
