    Hi everyone,

    My site is www.kawaiispace.com (yet another myspace site, but I actually put effort into making mine...). I have seen a few other bigger sites using a similar ad placement, but I am only getting about a .70% CTR. I have tried instead of 2 300x250 adblocks at the top of each page, I had 2 250x250 blocks with images next to them and the CTR dropped to about .50%(I thought images were supposed to help!). I believe the ads are quite well blended at the moment, and just now I added a color randomiser to the skyscraper on the right which I hope might attract it more attention. I also have image ads squeezed between the rows of graphics in the graphics section. But no matter what I try I cant even get it above 1%, is my content too good!? :p I have tried a lot of variations in color and all have had little to no effect. Is there something im fundamentally doing wrong?

    Appreciate your help
    mrconstantine =)

    Also i just wanted to include that the layouts section gets an incredible 10% CTR consistently... I have no idea why this might be? Its the same as all the other pages, yet they are all below 1% CTR. its so perplexing! My CPC is also abysmal no matter what I try.. Im getting less per click than seems possible wheres a friend who has a complete cookie cutter myspace site is raking it in.. its so frustrating.

    There is a lot of white space on the page, so you might want to consider changing your layout to cut back on the empty space

    It looks too overcrowded with google ads for me.
    Also you get PSA.

    I'm not american, i'm from Lithuania, Europe, so I won't be able to help, but if you add more content, the page will show more page related ads.
