My CTR less than 1%, is it my Ads Placement Problems? Pls Review...

My site: Funky Downtown adsense's CTR is less than 1%, is it due to my placement problems? I have 3 ads & 3 links in my site. Can someone reviews Funky Downtown for me and advise me whether my ads placement is OK? Thanks so much!

 

you are putting them at a low position. i suggest to put the ads higher in position

 

Yes put those ads above the fold. Don't hide Adsense®. Show them up.

 

The other problem is that from what I can see on your home page you ONLY have TEXT links...those require TWO clicks to get anything, one click to bring up the ads related to that keyword, and then a click on the ad...then, and only then, do you get any earning.

 

Looks like you fixed the placement and type of ads. I noticed a lot of text style ads, I prefer using some larger image only ads to make it look more attractive. That's a really cool site. I want that watch!

 

Try limiting the amount of posts per page maybe? So people don't just scroll away quickly before seeing your ads.

 

Nice site you got there

Here's my review:
- Been on your site, after seeing the images, I already satisfied myself, I don't bother to read more. They say a picture says a thousand words right? I think it apply to this site very well
- Since I didn't bother to read more, I've never got chance to see the Adsense on that page
- Most of your ads are link units on the front page. That takes two clicks before you can earn anything.
- You Adsense color theme are quite good. It just needs more exposure.

My suggestion:

- How about showing only one posts on the front page so that your Adsense is shown right away?

 

Adsense placement is not bad but you should wrap the content around the ads to make them more noticeable. I wrote a detailed article on improving CTR here: http://hubpages.com/hub/Increase-Adsense-Click-Through-Rates-and-Earnings

 

Look to the Text Links, my friends, the Text Links.
