    My website gets over 100,000 uniques a month, and I think now would be a good time to try and increase my ctr.

    http://www.tutorial-center.com

    currently gets around 0.6% ctr, any help is greatly appreciated

    Your site is nice...

    But brother as i have noticed your
    website has fair amount of returning
    visitors so in order to make them click
    on your google ads you should generate
    multicolor adsense code from your adsense
    account so google ads keeps changing its
    colours. so each time visitors experienced
    some thing new and click on the ads..

    here in dp forums you can observe a similar
    adsense multi color schemme on top of
    the forum...

    you can find how to rotate colors of ads here

    Your ads are blended (which makes them invisible in the colour scheme you're using), I suggest that you use more appealling colours and layouts.

    For example :
    - The wide banner on the top has links in black (like any normal text), and has no borders unlike all other content blocks, You are telling the visitor that "this text is not important at all, hurry and skip it.
    I suggest that you remove these ads and replace it with a combination of a content rich block (like a list of last added or more popular tutorials) and a large rectangle (300*288 or so)....

    #0000FF = blue
    #0000CD = MediumBlue (better for your website IMO)

    Thanks for the tips guys, I'll try something different every few days and see what works best.

    Thanks again

    Edit: I'm going to leave it a few days, the top ad has been showing image ads that get a much higher ctr for me.

    Yup I agree, ads that are blended to well tend to get over looked, glad to hear that the image ads are working for you.

    i suggest to put big text box add in place of 728X90, with some welcome massage or with Random Tutorials.
    surely it will work wonders for ur CTR.
