    Hi all. I have a very high traffic teen site with lots of pageviews but most days I'm lucky to get 1 click. Can sum1 experienced give me an idea?

    i think you have to change your site color....try some eye friendly colors. and use large ad blocks..above the fold..

    does your audience buy things ? Most that pay good are selling something useful

    Damn, that layout is horrible! After around 20 seconds I had to click off the site because my eyes hurt!
    Seriously, get a nice template, use more neutral colours and then blend the ads in with the website. At the moment the site isn't attractive, and your users probably click off quickly, hence your low CTR. Get a new design, one that looks nice, then your CTR should improve.

    You need to work on the layout. At least you need to make it a page that you yourself like it.

    Its best for you,try more traffic.I think,its impossible on google,there have so many visitor but no one click your ads.I have a site on bangla.Bangla never support google adsense.But,just yesterday I earn from my site $38.Though,yesterday is our election day & so many traffic gather on my site.But,still you can earn a smart amount,if you really have enough visitor,you will earn a smart amount automatically.
