Can my CTR be increased any further?

or am I lucky to have a 2% CTR?

Here's the main website:

Here's an article page:

Everything looks good to me, but is there anyway to add an extra 4-5% of CTR? Or am I pushing myself too far.

Also, I know that this is off the forum category's topic. But, while waiting for search engines to recognize my backlinks, what else can I do? All I've been doing is submitting to directories/making new articles. Is that all I can do until Google captures all of my backlinks? I'm getting impatient until my first visitor from a search engine comes.

 

Patience is necessary with search engine traffic. To be honest it's taken me the better part of 3 months to get 'decent' traffic from search engines on a few of my sites.

As far as CTR, it looks good, you've covered the basics, and the only thing you can rely on now is targeted traffic from search engines. I would think your CTR would improve once you started getting better targeted visitors from those search engines.

 

For starters I would make the adsense links and the rectangle titles green to blend in more nicely.
Maybe a large rectangle above "Benefit of Green Tea" on your start page.

Then I would move the adsense link above the title below the green block to make it more look like a menu. This could increase your CTR

Good Luck

 

Alright, I've modified my websites through your suggestions. Hopefully my CTR will go up. My traffic isn't really consistent, so it's really hard to tell.

 

As I see it now, your CTR is very good. The text of the ads is a bit too light, pretty hard to read. What I would suggest you to do is to add some ads under the first post as well. That will not increase your CTR but will surely increase your income.

 

also in articles i would put ads on the right side not on the left like you have now ....

 

Alright, just inverted the box ad to the right side rather than the left. Thanks.

I just noticed how messed up my website is in Internet Explorer. I can't figure out how to fix it.

 

use a 336*280 block & place a generic tea photo near it, i bet that will get you up above 5% CTR

The banner size adsence always gives a crap CTR & eCPM.

 

Alright, I'm working on placing a large rectangle near a green tea picture on the front page. Should I also do this at the end of the article, too?

I'm having trouble putting an image to such big an ad. I'm looking at free stock photos for an appropriate image.
