    My website Muppet Poker has a click through rate of <1%. Could someone give me some quick tips on how I could potentially improve this? (Specifically related to my website)

    Your site is just one giant ad. The obvious choice is click on an add or leave. I tend to leave. Try being a little more subtle about your desperation to get some clicks.

    doesnt google TOS
    say.. the maximum ads you can have on your page is.. 3 content ads and 1 link unit per page?

    because you have 3 link units on 1 page.. i think thats in breach of the TOS

    # Up to three ad units may be displayed on each page.
    # A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed on a page.
    # Up to three link units may also be placed on each page.
    # Up to three referral units may be displayed on a page, in addition to the ad units, search boxes, and link units specified above.

    Taken straight from the Program Policies

    Thanks for the (semi) constructive criticism. Which adblocks would be best to keep/remove?

    What I see is two or three lines of text buried in between a bunch of ads. Try putting full page articles up and complimenting the content with an add or two (or three). Point is that on the main page there is almost nothing but ads.
