Need Help Increasing CTR

    I have a proxy site that has been getting a good CTR. But recently, it has dropped by nearly 2/3.
    http://www.instantunblock.com/

    Note: I plan on removing the images by the ads.

    What can I do to increase my CTR? I thought I had a good ad layout, but apparently it isn't good enough.

    Would changing the ad title colors to blue help? I want to increase my CTR, but I also don't want to make my ads invisible to the ad blind.

    The first thing I would do is to make the adsense LINKS blue, not white

    Be careful with the images near the ads. I think that you can increase the ctr first putting the proxy options in a hidden div, and when the people press a 'more options' button or similar display the options, after that, your layout will be more short.

    You can place the introduction text at the top, and next add the two 336x280 blocks. Under these blocks, add the form with the 'more options' button, and under that, add the 728x90 ad.

    Good luck.

    Yeah, I guess you were gone when the memo about "images next to Ads" came out. :D
    I agree with everyone above me. You should have color in those Ads. Everything is white and I find myself not wanting to read anything. Either keep the Ads all white and change everything else to color or vice versa.
