    I would love to see a new rectangle type ad format with 2 ads instead of 3 or 4. That would be less spammy, while you would still achieve a fairly high ctr.

    Well, I don't see how ads can be considered content in a contextual advertising program. Though I know that isn't want you meant :)

    Aside from that, if you aren't looking for repeat visitors, then have at it.

    The reason of the high CTR is simple. Lack of valuable content.

    realseo domain may have acceptable content regardless of 2 adsense at the top but the other 2 sites just have high CTR because of there's almost no content/or lack valuable content to them.

    Thus your users are enticed to click on the Adsense links for more valuable information. That's why the CTR is outrageously high


    -- I also see a lot of the links on the page are actually pointing outside the domain (even the download pages are from other sites)

    Ethical? I have no problem with this as long as google says it's okay and your users aren't terrified by it. Of course, it's not everybody's style to do something like this. Money is one thing, but I will not gain personal satisfacton using this same method to generate money.

    Will I come back to visit those pages? I may if the content are really ..really good. I don't mind spammy ads like that if I can gain some knowledge.

    However, currently the answer will be no

    @the guy who asked for my CTR, I recommend you read the post I made right (or maybe 2 things) before that question... I hinted.

    @everyone else, the majoriy of my traffic on PCG is from links (no repeaters) and search engines, as for ClearCheats EVERY hit is from MSN search :p

    nice, care to throw a few bones for us who maintain 10% or less ctr?
    one more separate question: are you gettin this sitewide or on a specific set of pages?
