    Hey guys, I am usually VERY good at placing ads, but I am stumped on this one. Can any of you tell me what I should change - Maybe add, move, or modify? Really appreciate it!

    www.theforexnews.com

    I get good traffic, but VERY little clicks. I have a other forex site, and I get lower traffic, but more clicks :(

    Thanks, cheers

    I think the problem is that your adsense ads are cluttered with your amazon ads on the bottom left of the page.
    Visitors will only look at the top left page since there's nothing useful at the bottom.
    Make the Adsense on the top left, followed with FX Tools, then Amazon and the quote at the bottom.

    This way visitors will need to look at the ads if they are going to view any information on the left.

    Try a banner on the right side of the page somewhere (ie. Under Live Forex News)

    i think you should change your anchor tag link colors to others like green or blue and blend them with your ads...:D

    your only showing two google ads right?, and the other is an ad link unit so i think that is also the reason cause you have few ads and a lot of links...try changing your ad at the left into a wide skyscraper and put it above the live forex...add a half banner after each news article...

    First off, THANK you for all the great help.

    BUT, if I put adsense under where it says "Live Forex News" like everyone says, would that not be against google TOS?

    You can try putting a text square below your post title. That won't be against TOS and it's really a great place since that's where people usually look first once they reach a webpage or an article.
