This is an article on my site http://triffictottenham.co.uk/we-wont-sign-anyone-this-january-happy-now-harry/ It's only a sports site and so I dont expect a high ctr but do any of you have any ideas with placement that could increase my ctr?
Coxie, you have a nice design! I'll give you my two cents. Where you have the Adsense display seems to be common with Article Sites. Because of that, I'd imagine it's the best placement. However, when people are always seeing the same format, I believe they become desensitized to ads. Sometimes being different makes things standout. I used to keep my ads on the bottom of an Article Website I had in the past. It did pretty well. I believe it didn't rob the reading experience. On the other hand, I wonder how much money I lost with readers that lost interest in reading the entire article. I think you got it in a good spot right now. If you're not getting desired results, I'd leave it there for a while (Maybe two weeks). Then try floating it on the left, or bottom, etc... for a couple weeks and see if it improves. In my opinion, it's best to move things slightly on occasion. It does something to a person when they return and something changed. Hope that helps.
