    I own celebrity website "http://beautiesdb.org" since i removed my images beside ads my CTR droped big time (make sense :) ).

    My CTR jumped when i (thanks to DP user) placed link unit under my menu.

    I have about 6-8k unique and (now) very low CTR (about 0.8%) and with that low eCPM.

    By the way most (80%) of my traffic is linked from other sites directly to girl galleries. Example url: "http://www.beautiesDB.org/index.php?linked=1&event=browseNAME&name=Ana%20Hickman"

    Please guys review my site and help me place my adds.

    I'll be honest. And i will come to your adsense ads soon enough.

    First of all. I've recently been told that my website has too bright colours, and i'm changing my graphics as soon as possible. Personally i'd get rid of the toxic green on your site. To be honest those colours doesn't look very professional, and it would scare me off :)

    Another thing is: Get rid of the frames! One thing is that the search engines dont like them. Another thing is - you've apparently designed your website in a higher resolution than i run. I'm on 1084x768 like most people, and it really doesn't look impressive - too many scroll bars the wrong places(try turning your resolution down a notch - you'll see).

    Now for adsense: Try positioning your adsense ads in between the photos. And when you display a photo(same place where you can vote and comment). Position a adbox just below the picture.

    Another thing you might try is to move the link unit from below your Links to the top, just below your logo banner. This will create a menu-like effect, that people will click at. If it doesn't work better than your old placement - you can always switch back (testing is key).

    Now i better get back to studying for my exam....

    thanks for your reply
    I'm already trying to find some time to change color of this website.

    About frames i think i will be removing it soon. This was my first website and i was experimenting a lot, now i'm using only tabels and divs. I'll change the resolution bugs when i'll be getting rid of the frame (soon :D ), i've been working on 1650x1050.

    I will move link unit and add other units to places you sugested and wait for the results.

    BTW good luck with your exam.
