    I get roughfly 1,000 uv a day to my site, 80% of which is from search engines. I can't get my CTR over 1%, and on average it is more like 0.5%. The url is http://cod4source.com, your help would be great.

    ads seem to work for me. maybe try some 300x250 ads instead of the banners. plus they do seem off topic.

    What is the keyword you are targeting? How long did it for you to get 1K UV a day?

    Just go through your website and it is great. I will suggest you to use retangular size and put it in between the post and remove the current ads. I believe your CTR will increase because the ads in between the post will get ads match with your content, visitor will interest on that
    Monitor for two week and you can see the different

    The ads barley stand out, therefor people don't see them.

    Change the colors, give it a green border to match the site's colors.

    Yeah. The adsense showing is not the topic of your website. You should put in relevant game keywords to make adsense show game adsense for your website especially in the title of the page.

    Please guys just let this post die, I am no longer using adsense. Lock/delete/whatever would be great.
