    I have a blog with about 700-800 pageviews a month on the main page but my CTR is a lame 0.15%. Any suggestions?

    Second question is why do I only have 3 instances of ads? I have a skyscraper on the right but it isn't displaying.

    Thanks

    You'll have to provide the URL of your site if you want any help with ad placement.

    What is the nature of your traffic? What is your site's niche? What countries does most of your traffic come from?

    BTW I added an image banner at the top since I posted this message, so that is new.

    Well, personally, I'd change the template you're using. The one you have right now isn't well suited for Adsense as there are little places where you can put ads. I'm guessing that's why your skyscraper doesn't show up.

    I'd get rid of those half banners, also. Try putting an ad block into your articles and wrap the text around them. An Adsense plugin might help for that kind of thing.

    Put the ads above the fold

    I would also suggest placing an 160x600 ad in the right column and make sure that it is above the fold.

    Heh, I see you are new. So, to start, get rid of the border, make the border color #FFFFFF and for the link title, make them the same color as the " Neo-Grec Four-Piece Parlor Set - Jelliff Style"

    Once you do that, your CTR will go up. :D

    Perhaps it is because your topic is not very popular? Furniture right? I am not an expert at the keywords but just a suggestion.
