    check out the before and after pics of the changes i made in my page for adsense. I read articles which suggested that i should have a skysraper on the left then on the right and then a link bar on the top which would result in an improved CTR.. but this did not happen.

    On my before page i used to get a CTR of 7% a day.. which most of the clicks on the image banner on the top.. my CTR is 0% on the new page.

    Any suggestions. how can i improve my CTR. the reason why i made the changes was because the top image banner clicks with nothing more than 5cents and the occasional clicks on the text links on the banner on the right would be 50 cents.

    Try wrapping you content with this code. And place this at the start of your article. May be this will help.

    <div style=����¯�¿�½���¯���¿���½??����¯�¿�½���¯���¿���½?����¯�¿�½���¯���¿���½����¯�¿�½������¢??display:block;float:left;padding:5px;����¯�¿�½���¯���¿���½??����¯�¿�½���¯���¿���½?����¯�¿�½���¯���¿���½����¯�¿�½������¢??> adsense code here</div>

    I can't see the code either. You should type it again.

    My advice is to get rid of the left ad's border. You can do this by turning the border into the same colour as your page background. That is turn it white.

    i think %7 ctr is good, why did you change it?

    it's better to change to the old blendgin for you:)

    7% is good but i think on a single page site. it should be about 15% or so.. the reason of change was to see if i can get over 7%.. always keep improving and experimenting :)
