    Hi, please review my ads placements/colours in my Information Technology Blog
    I am getting about 700 unique visitors per day (~500 from google) and most of the days only 1 click.

    The ads placement is good enough. I think you should focus on your content. Too less content

    Its probably your traffic quality. Kinda like Digg traffic. You can have 25k visitors in 3 days and 5 or so clicks.

    SU traffic is horrible. Don't even consider SU for your CTR.

    Use the Adsense preview tool and go to town blocking MFA/garbage ads from appearing on your site. That will help, but many times they use different domains to point to the same garbage. So stay on top of it. Done right, your CTR will improve some and your RPC can rise significantly.

    Hi, thanks for great tips! and I would like to ask whats the point of SU traffic then? should I remove the SU button at the bottom of my posts? as It's only lowering your CTR.

    AdSense earnings are like that. Some days you would feel like taking AdSense off your site. And some days you will have smile to your ears:)

    Even low quality traffic is still traffic. You may get lucky and get a click here and there, so don't turn that away. You may even get a sale once in a blue moon from SU traffic.

    Some niches do better with SU. Your niche probably is not one of them, but you may not have enough consistent SU traffic to determine that.

    firstly, may google understand from that thread, that u want more clicks from Didital point members
    it may lead u to push out adsense

    2nd , your site content dont mtch with your advertises
    so visitors dont see what advertise they want

    so try to increase denisty of your favorite vistors Keywords

    and use any analytics program for adsense.

    I suggest you put a ad unit at the top of the first post.

    This will increase your CTR.

    Use the 336*280 or 250*250 ad unit for the top ad unit.

    however the adds are nicely placed .. but the one thing that catches the eyes of a visitor is the videos... and thats why they probably dont go for adds

    the post with video is not so popular, the most popular posts are filled with text.
