    Hey guys. Thanks for helping me =)
    I have a blog at http://www.vistarewired.com

    I think it has some very valuable and useful info but I don't know how to best monetize it. I have tried different ad styles:

    Having a text ad-link unit where the flags are
    Using a skyscraper where the box is on the right
    And even using a square ad in my article posts

    All give me a 1 percent or less CTR.
    Can you guys help me raise the CTR to something like 10 percent or more?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Your site is missing a Link Unit below the header and ad unit of 360x80 inbetween your post.. try that, it will help you..

    I had one of those using black colour and 3 ad units, but it had the lowest CTR out of all the other ads

    see where you have your RSS feed, subscribe and HIVE designs buttons below there? I would move those to the right of your adsense ad.. then use a 250 x 250 unit. See how the CTR for that is.

    Maybe more ad units (2 or 3) at taller ad area will be efficacious.

    You have a good readership...put ads on the main page in the sitebar and on top ...these are the places you get maximum clicks...
    also the rectangle box ads you have put in the single.php file...try to reduce the size...also that box is creating haywire in your last post

    I'm not very good with ads. For some reason, my search is messed up. Also, if I have that big box ad on the front page, it looks ugly
