    Yeah, it's a bit low.

    Do some maintanence man.. Your ads stick out.. Why? Don't you want people to click them?

    Cloak the 2 468x60's on the top and bottom.. Make them the same color as background, and text all the same color.. People will click them much more.

    Plus, you honestly can't expect too much. The only one that is probably doing anything is the top one, and I highly doubt it's doing too much.. A 468x60 isn't too profitable. (however, due to the layout of your site, I think you chose the right size) It's very little area for guests to click. And your 2nd one.. I Had to scroll for 45 seconds just to find it. I doubt it even gets looked at more than 3 times a day, considering you have 200 hits per day.

    Use this
    Html Colorpicker (at the bottom)
    Get the color of your blog where that ad is and put that color as your background and change the title color to blue.

    Let me know if your ctr increases.

    Blend the background on your top ad so it matches your template. I wouldn't switch the colors of the text to black because it will blend in so much you won't even notice it, but maybe get rid of the bright red for a dark red. You want them to just catch peoples eye...but not stand out so much they look like a big ol' Google Ad. Also, ditch the one at the very bottom....no one will probably make it that far to even see it. Put a 160x600 vertical on the left bar between category archives and recent entries. Blend the background...no border and use the dark red for the title and black for the text and url...same as your top ad. Try this out and I'll bet you have some more success with your clicks. PM me if you want any other ideas.

    your blog looks pretty nice, but i've got few suggestions:

    1. as cashninjas said, try to make ads blend with your website ;) if you don't know just make a print screen, paste it in paint, fireworks, photoshop and with color picker you'll get the code of your background colour that you should use for adsense background and maybe border if you want.

    2. ads between posts ;) try adding ads between posts

    3. menu/sidebar => syndicate is too high, it should be in a lower position, and you could try adding a big skyscraper from adsense there, maybe between monthly archives and cathegory archives
