    you should reconsider your thread title....per the adsense TOS you may not release your CTR to the public.

    lol um close your eyes!.

    Your ads are blended in nicely. Try putting some in the first fold though.

    And with the videos, instead of putting a big square above them, try putting them on the right hand side of the video. This will do two things....
    -Firstly your video will be in the topfold (remember this is why people clicked the link)

    -And secondly, people will be able to read the ads while watching the video...in this case for the first video, thats an entire minute the adsense will have to entice the visitor to click while he is 'frozen' on the page watching.

    I've also a terrible CTR of <0.5 everyday.

    But your placement & blending is excellent.

    Blending is cool, but the ads has to be in the first fold. Shift your ads up and you should see better results.

    Nice integration, I don't think there's anything wrong with 0.9% for that kind of site.

    I don't think it's anything to do with the positioning, the ads that are showing aren't really relevant to the type of people that visit the site. I'm getting family care foundation, humanitarian aid & all sorts of wierd adverts. You need to do some targeting on the pages, possibly include SEF URL's via Mod_Rewrite to get better ads on the pages :)

    Well, this is really strange, my CTR just doubled-tripled. Just like that. No change in traffic at all.
