    Hi,

    I have got a really low click through rate, 0.39%. Can you please review my blog and tell me what I am doing wrong.

    Thanks for your time!

    You can put skyscraper on the right side..but I don't think 39% is less..

    Well, you have placed a simple banner at the top and bottom which is not even apparent and hence the low CTR..

    Try placing the adsense in the most popular posts of yours?

    Where is ur traffic from? If you are getting traffic from social bookmarking sites, then u will have really low CTR

    Hi Bird,

    Maybe you can try to replace your 460 ad with two 250x250 on below the title and above the content.

    Let us know your result with this changes ok?

    I don't know how to place adverts bellow only the top title. I could make it so that the adverts show bellow every title, but you are only allowed 3 adsense boxes per page. Does anyone know how to do this with wordpress?

    i know how to do this. i have made a little function for myself
    it runs in index.php and archive.php

    i have used a $count system,
    show ads, if $count is <3

    but i'll suggest use one 336 or 250 unit, its enough :D float it to left

    <div style="float:left; margin-right:10px;">
    adsense code goes here
    </div>

    :D

    google adds have nothing to do with link building and seo. if your trying to look down on some one then maybe you should think before you type.

    It's against Ad Sense TOS to share your CTR.
