    Dear DP members,

    At my webpage, http://bit.ly/aazUSW , i'm getting something like 350 uniques a day.

    Usually i have a CTR of about 1,3% and in the last week as dropped to something like 0,3% average per day.
    So i'm performing really really bad, can someone try to review my website in order to understand if there's something wrong with my adsense placement or used banners and color schemes?

    Must appreciated.

    All we can say is keep changing your ad positions and see what works best!

    OP: Here's my suggest, take it as you wished but I have tested a few placement & color scheme on my site and I'm averaging 6-8%

    Homepage
    Insert the Medium Rectangle (300 x 250) or Large Rectangle (336 x 280) (for me Large Rectangle works best) where your current ads are at and keep the DEFAULT google ads color scheme. Test with any where from 500-1000 impression. Note the CTR.

    Single Post Pages
    Use the Large Rectangle (336 x 280) and move it into the top portion of your post (under your post title) and align to the right, once again leave the default ads colors and test...Note the CTR.

    Let us know how it went... :)

    Try working with different types of ads on your page. Right now I currently see 2 small ad blocks side by side in a very cold position (not easily found). If it is placed in the center of your content, then they will be easier to find. Try a link unit (728x15 or 468x15) at the top of your page, because you probably don't want a large ad block in the middle of your content. Just test different, subtle tactics until you come across something that works the best.
