    Thats probably because you don't have much traffic. I see that most forum is inactive and only few people are active. Also most members normally become ad blind after some time because they see it all the time.

    Yeah I think Sufi is right. You do not have much traffic, hence you need a few hundred impressions somtimes to get a click.

    If you do that on a larger scale things might be different.
    Try getting more impressions..

    Like the others said, you simple need more traffic. It's not at all unusual to have such a low CTR with low traffic, especially when the visitors are repeat.

    Forums are notorious for low CTRs to begin with by the way.

    Forums have always low CTR. You will get lot of page impressions and hence it lowers CTR. Try to blend ads more effectively. Put the code after every first post like this DP forum.

    like what cooolapts has said, forums are known to have lesser CTRs. I'm having a knack of following DP's formats on my forum for learning purposes as well.

    forums have usually lower ctr.

    * making a better placement
    * using section targeting
    * blocking mfa

    may help you to increase your ctr
