    and out of these 9 clicks, about 5 or 6 are from my friends that feels bad for me...lol

    I get a lot of impressions, well I think. 2800 in 7 days as you can see, but so little clicks. It might have something to do with ads placement? anyone can help?

    thanks.

    I have the same problem. Very low CTR, same as you. My page impressions are less per 7 days though. Hopefully someone knows the answer. :eek:

    Clicks from your friend? How do you know that?? Did you ask your friends to click your ads? That's against the adsense TOS. Read the gogole guidelines about ad placement here https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=17954
    Hope it will help to improve your CTR.

    There are many options you can choose to get a higher click ratio.

    For instance, you have the possibility to change the ads themselves.

    2.1 Ad Colors
    In general you have two kinds of ad colors to choose from:

    ads that stand out, and
    ads that blend in.
    Both may have their positives and negatives, but all in all you need to experiment with those types of color palettes to see which works best with your site. In my personal experience - and what I have been told from most webmasters I have talked to - colors that blend in perform better. Others have experienced better click ratios from outstanding ad colors though, so this is something you really should try out yourself. Whatever option you choose, you should at least try your ads to fit to the website's design and color scheme though.

    My personal tip is: Match the ad's text color with the color of your Web site's content's text color and match the link color of the ad with your site's link color.

    2.2 Ad Placement
    Another factor incfluencing the CTR is the placement of your ad. AdSense ads should not be hidden from your visitors, but they should be visible at first sight. Again, there are still several places you can choose for your ads to appear.

    Text ads seem to attract most clicks at the top or in the center of a website's content area - especially on websites with much text content.

    Do you already know the so-called “heat map” by Google? It illustrates profitable ad placements on an example site layout. The fields which are colored dark orange experience the best performance while those fields with a brighter color do not perform that well.

    Anyway, the heat map is only a tip for you. It's based on Google's researches from many different websites with AdSense ads, but the heat map possibly does not show the perfect ad placement area for your own site. So - again - it's up to you to try where on your website ads work best.

    I hope you get banned from adsense for asking your friends to click.

    thanks a lot for all the answers

    and I haven't asked my friends to click, they just clicked and told me afterward. If something that i'm not even aware of is against adsense TOS then it's pretty silly.

    Maybe I should tell all the people I know NOT to click my ads? just to be sure, right?
    ;)
