    Hello there,
    I just joined, and I'm glad I found this forum..It already helped me a lot with all the posts here, as well as kept me motivated!

    So I'm running a small site with some "quality" (i hope) 3D CG tutorials..And my CTR is really low..but yeah, I started few weeks ago, and only have like 200 hits per day..

    Now I had old template, and it yield quite a hits..Top was like 3 clicks per day, and I got around 10 clicks in just one week, but since I changed my template I got only like 2-3 so far..But template is even nicer so I'm assuming it has to do something with ad placement! I also tried to change Ad's background color to dark red to match my navigation area of site, but since site's navigation area have gradient and I couldn't apply that to adsense it didn't match well!

    :: Site :: (only Tutorial section is populated so far)

    P.S. Because my site doesn't have domain, could that be problem too? I just wanted to start free and build my site..Of course if I get my 100$ check I will pay for both hosting and domain, but does that affect viewer?

    So tell me what you think!
    Kind Regards,
    -eXtreme

    first of all , you are not allowed to publish your adsense ctr.

    you may delete it. it's against the tos .

    i see that you are using joomla for your site. i suggest you to use this mambot to have a better blending

    Yeah trichnosis is right you will want to remove that ctr percentage you just published. Just edit your post and remove it.

    Also, if it was me, I would add another ad on the right hand side and maybe even one down near the footer like a 468x60
