Low CTR but good placement?

    Hi, my site has a very low CTR and I do not know why. The ads are placed and blended in fine, yet I have a low CTR.

    My site is:

    http://elitehackerspro.blogspot.com/

    Please tell me what I can do in order to increase the CTR.

    Thanks :)

    Try to use 336x280 ads on the top of your site, maybe the CTR will be better.

    Hey, whether we agree that it's wonderfully placed or not, you should toss things around and aim for a higher click through rate anyway :)

    I think the email block at the top looks out of place.

    Move your email subscribe to side bar.
    Let your visitor see the content to decrease the bounce rate, it will helps to improve your CTR

    I did that. Check it out. I read here that if you put a text 250 by a image 250, that will increase your CTR.

    Should I make one an image and the other a text?

    If you put an image to close to the ads and google thinks it may be confusing to the user thinking the image is the ad they will ban your account. If you going to put a image close to the ads I recommend it be a small one, not something big and confusing to the user. But the site looks good, those ads in that spot should drastically improve your ctr, get back with me and let me know how it does for you.

    Hey David, thanks for your help. Unfortunately, my CTR only went up by 0.20% and I think I know why. Open elitehackerspro in IE and you'll see why.

    I don't know to fix it :(
