Do you have any idea, why?

Are those blogs too young?
By the way, did anyone know how to put adsense ads in the middle of the posts? it s perhaps gonna help me...

Tx a lot

 

I would suggest removing the ad that is at the bottom of the page, those are the ones that seem to work the least. Also, try a diffrent ad size, maybe a large rectangle after each post and set up your posts to 2 per page, that way you can have a diffrent size ad somewhere else in the page. To put the adsense code after your posts, do this:

Hope this helps

Sorry for my dumbness : where do i put your lines? in my posts? in the template?

 

Yup Template

 

In the template of course. Go to the template and scroll down until yo see what i posted earlier.

Build more quality content on the blogs first,then you'll get more visitors,more clicks you'll get..
Insert the ads in each post is a good idea..That will help you increasing the CTR

 

This layout works incredibly well for .Blogspot:

I only found your lines in the "classic" template that i no more use, i am using Blogger Beta, and the template is a "widget" one.
I dont want to revert to classic in order not to lose any job; but is there a way to achieve our ads inclusion?

You can still edit the template can't you?

 

Try two large rectangles sidebyside above the fold in a blog works wonders. See CTR's double ....
