Poor ad placement? 150-300 hits per day, no clicks?

    I'm looking for additional feedback on my ad placement at http://intensecogitation.info

    I'm currently getting 150-300 hits per day, mostly from Google and social networking, but I'm not getting any clicks on the ads. I currently have an ad unit in the sidebar and a large rectangle in each single post page. What can I do to improve CTR? Design changes? Move ad placements?

    New visitors or returning visitors? I find I do the best with new visitors.

    You can add a link format ads at the top, I think will increase clicks

    The ads are not in eye catching place,
    Place it on the top, or top sidebar, or in the content

    The top right sidebar with a 300x250 and a post ad 330x280 is were I get my best click rate.

    Here is how I display my ads Pincherplay.com. I also run some affiliate ads in the header 480x60 and 1 in the sidebar 120 x 600

    I would recommend a 336X280 ad below each post title. They work pretty well.

    Your ads on the right side bar, bring them up to the top.
