    Right now I have a click through rate of barely 0.2%.

    How can I improve my ad placement to encourage a better CTR?

    My blog is http://gonepaintballing.blogspot.com/

    Your ad placement is not the best, I would move your ads to the top right of your blog and split them in two columns. I have had better success with this. How many UV per day?

    Bad CTR majority is due to non-targeted traffic, what is your major traffic source?

    0.2% seems okay to me, how much are you expecting?

    ill located and doesn't look like there are many advertizers in this niche. I might be wrong because I'm not in the US, but here in thailand all ads I see on your blog are unrelated to paintball.

    I used to get clicks as high as 10% back in the day, I would put my ads right before my article started but I don't know if google still allows that these days.
