My sites CTR has been decreasing over the months and I have tried everything, but I can't get my CTR above 0.50% Here's my site: http://elitehackerspro.blogspot.com/ Also, there's an ad in the posts. Thanks
Well, for one, you have a slim ad up top, which I'm not sure would work too well. I would recommend what a few other people do, and place two boxes side-by-side. One only image, and one only text - that seems to be working fairly well. Also, try putting some ads inbetween your posts? edit: and you should post in your gaming blog again, I clicked it, and it's from October 2008... lol
I can't place two boxes side-by-side since blogger isn't that customizable I'll put an ad at the bottom of the post. Haha, yeah I haven't posted on my gaming blog in a long time!
You should place halfbanner ads in the posts. (I don't see any ads in the posts...) I used to run a cheat site as well. You need to hide them so hopefully your visitors click them by mistake. I dont see a need for the big block going all the way across your site under the recent posts, recent comments, tag cloud box.
I thought you could go into the HTML view and do it from there? Well, either way, putting ads between some posts should help a bit. Yeah, if you post in your gaming blog I'd read it... and even comment
I added the halfbanner and I'm currently waiting for it to be active. Is the template for my gaming blog good or bad because I see it as a bad template considering its a gaming blog. Also, would you subscribe to my gaming blog? :O
I actually think it's pretty good and I'm rather hard to please. Not a chance.. don't come posting for help and then ask people to subscribe to your blog. Strongly frowned upon by me.
I get about 10 clicks for 1500 impressions. I get 1000-2000 impressions for normal days, but on weekdays I get about 2000-3000 impressions
The ctr can also be related to your niche which is something beyond your control. What you can do is to change the ad unit to display only text ads to see whether that helps.
