    Hi, I need some help figuring out the best place to put the ads on my site as at the moment the CTR is terrible (0,33% - 0,59%), here are some examples of where I have my ads:

    Homepage
    728x90 Leaderboard in header (Image ads only)
    300x250 Medium Rectangle in Right Column (Image & Text ads)

    News Item
    728x90 Leaderboard in header (Image ads only)
    300x250 Medium Rectangle in Right Column (Image & Text ads)
    468x60 Banner in News Article (Image & Text ads)

    Game Page
    728x90 Leaderboard in header (Image ads only)
    300x250 Medium Rectangle in Right Column (Image & Text ads)
    300x250 Medium Rectangle below Game Info (Image & Text ads)


    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Leaderboards don't fetch clicks, period. I know they may seem fancy and all, but ultimately they just fail to get clicks. The only reason I feel that you're not getting clicks just because those AD's look more like AD's. :p

    How about replacing the leaderboard image ad's with Link Units, and reducing the size of the remaining space - Being such an excellent blender that you are, I'm sure they'll work.

    Bottom Line - Stay away from Image Ads and leaderboards, though.

    Thanks for the advice, I'll give the link units idea a try and if that doesn't work I'll stick a CPM ad up where the leaderboard is, it appears on every page so it should do ok.
