    I'd definitely change the Red titles to black so it's integrated better and maybe look at having an ad block in between posts somewhere on the page also. I'm pretty sure this would all be in line with TOS but double check in just in case. I'm sure this would improve CTR a fair bit.

    Thanks all for your tips!

    sachin410 how can i wrap text around ads, i sometimes make 10 post a day and just inserting my adsense code in each of them would be a hell of job.

    may be any css help or some script help?

    you know I'm reading (and actually seeing) CTR of 5-6% all the time, but mine is 1-1.5%, and you say it's perfect...

    I don't think so, but thanks for encouragement

    now CPC also dropped to a record low ( I can't believe, is this crisis and everything needs to go down).

    Do more people feel this also?

    you will have to edit single.php

    In a normal html page, I do it this way...

    I place the ad below the title, but above the content...

    I added this above the Adsense ad...

    <div style="float: right; margin: 3px 3px 3px 3px;">
    Code (markup):
    and this below it...

    </div>
    Code (markup):

    I see CPC down but CTR has not changed on most of my sites that reach a younger audiance that are not home owners and may not even work.
