    please check www.connectmobiles.com

    Currently I am earning $1.15 USD per day at a CTR of 1.61%

    How can I optimize the CTR... here... keeping into mind the professional looks.

    I am not too keen on changing the color of the Ads..

    Your CTR is fine frankly.

    What you need is traffic.

    Make sure you do not get non relevant ads by blocking out some obvious urls.

    Your web site is wider than my screen (1024 pixels), so I don't see the ads on the right hand side. Other than that, the blending is good. Have you considered using link units?

    Cryo.

    Move your ads closer to the top of your side.

    I wouldn't complain with a higher then %1.5 ctr, I know a lot of people who can't even get above 1%.

    !) Never write your site impressions along with CTR, state CTR only, otherwise you are violating Google TOS
    2) Blending really is the key.

    You have good blending from what I saw.

    A couple of suggestions:

    1. Link Unit across the top (728x15) maybe between the main horizontal navigation and the horizontal search bit.

    2. Nokia Advertisements (change to Advertisements or Sponsors) and move that block up the page (change its position with the Nokia Tips and Tricks section)

    3. Consider the right and left advert position and see if you can place them higher up the page

    Basically trying to get some adverts above the fold should increase your CTR.

    The other thing is increasing traffic and if you maintain the CTR, then you increase your revenue at the same time.

    Good Luck.

    1) try to reduce the width of your templete.
    2) increase your site traffic
    3) blend your google text ads

    Yes, remember the rule: NO ONE EVER SCROLLS DOWN. So, move your ads up so they see them even without scrolling down.
