    My site is Wenger Enterprises. I haven't had any clicks in over a month, since the beginning of November. I have had 5927 hits this month too. Could I change my placement any?

    Well, what is the bounce rate?
    Where does the majority of your traffic come from?
    In my opinion, the site is kind of unattractive. Also not too many useful items to be found.
    If I was looking for a webdesign resource, I would hit the back button.

    There are many well known sites that deal with the same thing, and are way more effective.
    Maybe just concentrate on providing useful content, then build traffic.
    You're visitors will stick around and occasionally click relevant ads that interest them.
    The design is fine, but you should tweak the CSS.

    20-26 pages on my site

    I am guessing it is because there is only one Google Ad and it is "obvious".

    The position is good, but add more ads. You have have so many, but try not to bomb the pages.

    How would another at the end of the content look?

    It would look good. Also add text ads on the header bar and maybe some on the left sidebar.

    On most of the pages the Adsense ads are not targeted very well to the page content. ("firefighter ringtones" & "exit signs"?). Add more content to the webpages and focus on keywords. Decide what keywords best fit that page, repeat them a few times in your content and also put them in the page headers (h1,h2 tags). Also change your page title to reflect each page. This will help in search engine rankings and also targets the ads better to your page topics.

    I guess I'll have to edit all my pages and my header if I want to do that. Good thing I have dialup! :rolleyes:

    I honestly didn't even see the adds for a little while. Try doing a more appealing redesign.

    Sometime between posting this topic and midnight of last night, I got a $0.33 click! I hadn't logged into my AdSense panel today.

    I am currently doing the change with unique titles, so that's your explanation if it has no title.

    I didn't see the ads for a while either. Can you put the ads in the middle of the post?

    I'm not changing anything, because today I have $2.54. I may add a link unit in places, or add my third ad unit in the middle of a lot of content, but that's about all I'm going to do.

    Don't want to say anything bad, but maybe those clicks came from some DP members because many visited by viewing this thread.

    Well that would be fine, since DP is my #1 referrer besides pages on my site.

    Erm, no...

    I think that you should make your ad to stand out a little bit, but in the same time to make it attractive to click on maybe something what I have done at one of my blogs at simpsonsfanblog.com

    My personal opinion is you should varies your ads. Put a couple more ads with images as well as blend and targeting the ads so that it isn't seems so obvious. For an example, I found that the ads between the articles is kinda crowded. So, you would want to gap it a little bit.

    I may do that eventually. I think my main problem though is how few views I have. Thanks for the ideas.
