    forums are mostly having low ctr.

    i think placing a bit more ads will help you to earn more

    Test this: make the title links blue (and I mean 0000ff, not some pastel shade), keep the ad text black and make the ad url a light grey (maybe #999999). See if that raises the response.

    Yes, forums really do have a low CTR. IMO, the Ads are well placed, some suggestions though:

    1) Change the text & url color of the ads in topics to the grey one used in topic-text.

    2) Add AdSense for Search to your site, maybe at the bottom?

    .. and many more..
