    Hey. i have a blog which basically covers tech stuff related to Apple, Microsoft, Google, gadgets and some web2.0 stuff.
    Its kinda new and its getting a about 200-300 visits per day. But still i am getting VERY VERY less clicks. the CTR is pathetic.

    I regularly change the ads position to help it increase. But i dunno much.
    So can anyone see and give me any suggestions :-

    that just shows, readers are getting more educated not to click on those ads with the phrases 'ads by google'. I wonder why Google needs to advertise their brand, almost every living creature that can read knows what google is. I wish they just change it to 'Sponsored Links' rather than ads by google.

    Yes try bigger units I think that the single unit at the top is perfect, the color and place. Try the 720 or 600 any dimension it would work.

    Float your text around a smaller square at the top of each post and a large square directly after the content. Good luck lad.

    in my opinion all the differnt options on the site scared me away, i personally couldnt find the ads, so they probably blend in VERY well. try making them stick out a little more

    I would recommend using bigger ads on your page. I have had success with both image ads as well as text ads but only when I added more/bigger units.

    try a 200 4 link unit at the top of the sidebar, use a 300 or 336 ad block at the bottom of your post, and also a 160x600 image skyscrapper in the side bar
