Hi everyone, My site is www.kawaiispace.com (yet another myspace site, but I actually put effort into making mine...). I have seen a few other bigger sites using a similar ad placement, but I am only getting about a .70% CTR. I have tried instead of 2 300x250 adblocks at the top of each page, I had 2 250x250 blocks with images next to them and the CTR dropped to about .50%(I thought images were supposed to help!). I believe the ads are quite well blended at the moment, and just now I added a color randomiser to the skyscraper on the right which I hope might attract it more attention. I also have image ads squeezed between the rows of graphics in the graphics section. But no matter what I try I cant even get it above 1%, is my content too good!? I have tried a lot of variations in color and all have had little to no effect. Is there something im fundamentally doing wrong? Appreciate your help mrconstantine =)
Also i just wanted to include that the layouts section gets an incredible 10% CTR consistently... I have no idea why this might be? Its the same as all the other pages, yet they are all below 1% CTR. its so perplexing! My CPC is also abysmal no matter what I try.. Im getting less per click than seems possible wheres a friend who has a complete cookie cutter myspace site is raking it in.. its so frustrating.
There is a lot of white space on the page, so you might want to consider changing your layout to cut back on the empty space
The right hand side had a skyscraper which i just removed, but I will try to fill in all the space. Thanks for that.
hmm PSA , its hard for me to know what ads are being shown for americans because im in australia. Might have to fire up a proxy and check it out...
I'm not american, i'm from Lithuania, Europe, so I won't be able to help, but if you add more content, the page will show more page related ads.
