    Hello,

    Please look at my site at tell me why do I have mostly only 1 or 10 cent clicks per ad.
    How can make more from a click ?
    How can I affect which ads to display on my site ( I mean, place some keywords close to the ad, or something like that ... )

    Thanks.

    Robert

    Try putting a phrase with your high paying keywords just below your Adsense code.
    And, IMO you should use a 300x250 Ad instead of your 180x150. Also you should remove their blue border to increase the CTR.

    Thank for it.
    I think if I have only fewer number of adds I get higher revenue, is it correct ?

    With only one link on your ad, usually the CPC is higher, but also the CTR is lower.
    With larger Ads showing more links, usually the CPC is lower, but the CTR is higher because users can be interested on other ads, not only on first.
    You'll need to try to achieve the best combination for your site.

    I agree with ajsa52, I would use the 300x250 rectangle at the top of the page as it seems the perfect size for it.

    As for CPCs, I don't think it makes all that much difference if you have one or more ads.

    Try it and see, I hope you are using channels to track this?

    I agree that you should lose the border around the ads. Also, make the font colors match the text on your page. The idea is to not make them look like ads but part of your content.

    The ads should be placed around important text. Not only does this help them blend in, but it helps your visitors to actually read the catch phrase in the ads.

    Good luck

    Yeah, lose the border. WHat your page does well is draw your eye into that center region where the ad is located. Unfortuantely I feel your ad greatly detracts from your content. Upon first glance, you don't even notive your content which is lower on the page.
