    Hello

    First, I do NOT want to break any rules, and I am a totally newbie here, so if I do or say something wrong, just tell me.

    I have a blog site for the CBS show Jericho which I have had for some time now, since May, I have begun to get more readers, i average about 100-150 a day in hits, sometimes a bit more.
    My problem is, I do not get ads that seem to fit, nor that get any clicks, would it be possible to get someone to take a look * only one person would be great, so you all don't think I am trying to get mass hits for free :)* and maybe tell me what in the heck I am doing wrong?
    I make well... we are not supposed to say r we, but its a sad story put it that way, and I am trying to make a go of this to supplement my family income :-(

    if anyone could take a look at my site, I would be very grateful for the constructive criticism, and if this post is in wrong folder, I am sorry.-
    thanks

    I dont think you're doing anything "wrong" - Google probably just does not have a very large inventory of ads realted to your site. I did see two ads for "Jericho TV Show ringtones", and another for "In Turn" on CBS..
    You might try section targeting, which will point the Adsense bot to certain sections, hopefully resulting in better targeted ads.
    You might also try moving your bottom banner up into your content area where you have your auction ads.
    Also, with 150 hits per day, I would not expect more than a click or three at best. Your best bet is to work on building traffic now, worry about ad optimization later..
