low "CPC" and "Estimated earnings" for music/entertainment website

    I have a music/concert news website with unique content . I have only had adsense running for two days but my average is 0.02/click with a 2% CTR. Don’t get me wrong, I know.. 2 days right? But it’s still a concern. I’d rather look at things now than a month from now with lost revenue.

    What are some things I can do to increase my CTR. I am sure I am not giving you guys enough information – so if you need more information please ask.

    the website is www (dot) theliveoc (dot) com.

    You should look at affiliate marketing - mp3/cd sales on Amazon, and ticket programs like TicketMaster.

    you can improve your ad placement for your ctr. 300x250 ad block inside content, remove the 728x90 at this place. replace the 468x60 by 336x280 at the end of the article. use colors matching your site, with blue links. etc. Use adsense search, use adsense links, etc.
    lots of things to do.
