    I have a myspace resource site that is getting about 4,000 unique visitors per day and my CTR is between .30% to .50% CTR. that sucks - I know some other people with similar sites getting betweeen 3% to 8%. Is there anything you can see on my site that will help me determine how to increase that amount?? With as much bandwidth as I'm using and needing to upgrade to, the revenue isn't enough. Thanks


    www.modernmyspace.com is my site

    A lot of your ads seem to be about cell phones. This might be one reason. You would probably get more response if this was in the adsense section.

    most people that have been on myspace resource sites know about good ad placement so they watch out. Not to mention, returning visitors always seem to have a lower CTR when you are trying to trick the.

    I have a 2kunique/day site with the same CTR, so you are not alone. Seems like there is nothing I can do except increase traffic :(

    actually now, my click-thru is at .95% - so it's going great! I optimized the site a bit. Now I just need to find someone to re-design the template for me! haha. it's ugly!
