    I am not having very good luck with adsense so far on this website. So far I receive 300-500 views a day and get in the order of 1 to 2 clicks. When I do get a click it is only worth about .03 cents. I'm really lost at how to generate more traffic to get more clicks. Who knows, maybe its not that and it is my keywords or something. Would anyone like to review my site and let me know what I could do to drive more traffic to it and get more clicks?

    Well, it looks pretty nice. I'll have to give it a more thoughral combover later.

    The only thing I have to say at the moment is... Space out your ads between blog bits a little more. I'm sure you might get a couple more clicks having it blend in so well with the text, but if it's annoying me you can bet it'll annoy someone else. They might even be able to complain to google about it, since it blends in fairly well with the text - too well. You have to be paying attention to realize it's not part of the blog.

    Maybe you didn't have the intention to trick anyone, I don't know. But at least one blank line between it and the actual content would do a lot to stop people from thinking you're trying to get accidental clicks.

    I agree with FDJustin, in the fact that the ads blend too well. If the ads look like part of the navigation, it draws people's attention away from them. A lot of people think that coloring their adsense similar to nearby links helps get clicks, but it doesn't because it just confuses people between what is content and what isn't. If you separate the ads and really make sure they look like a different part of the site, people will be able to notice at a glance what are ads and what aren't, which will make them easier to spot. I don't think the problem here is that people don't want to click your ads, it's that people cannot clearly see your ads.
