Review my ad placements on my new blog please

Please review my website and give me you opinions as to what you would do better to improve adsense earnings. CTR is very low. All opinions are welcome.

I coulds use help with the following :

1. Adsense placement - is it optimal? If not then what is for this site?

2. Is this the correct ad for this site or place?

3. Would you suggest a color change or an image ad instead?

and anything else you think would help me out.

Thank You

 

Looks great. In the forum, try to blend the top ad with font & color and also remove the border.

 

Nice site. I think you should get rid of the border and make the ad title a little darker

 

I would suggest changing your header's design.

 

You should put ads in a way that it attracts your visitors.

Generally, visitors don’t like ads. So you got to make the ads looking like part of the site content.

Blend the ads to the content.

There are many optimization techniques from Google support page to know more about which part of a webpage/which type of ad unit performs better than the other. Consider those valuable points too.

 

Ok I took your advice and removed the border and adjusted the colors of the adsense to match the forum fonts. Any other suggestions?

 

You are "labeling" the ads under penny stocks... which is against the adsense ToS... so you need to remove the title saying penny stocks and just display the ads.

 

place ads in the main text so that it looks like part of ur content- no borders, same colors as ur main links an text colors an so on...

 

Thanks for the tip. I removed the title labeled "penny stocks"

 

Ok I also changed the 250x250 location to closer to the top so it is seen without scrolling and changed the fonts as well.....still 195 impressions so far today with no clicks. Any other suggestions?

 

I could see only 2 Ads - one Ad block and other Ad link. Why not include two more Ads or atleast one Adlink?
