    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

Well optimized ads but still a low CTR. Help?

    Hi. I'm having a dilemma with one of my sites, http://tibiahelp.com

    Ads:
    Link ads - left side. Very low on clicks.
    Middle ads, main column at top. 75% of all clicks
    Download description, open up Downloads > Category > File and see description. Rarely get any clicks here.

    There are 2 options:
    * My traffic is ads blind - although they are just regular "gamers", they shouldn't be that blind to ads
    * Not the best placement/colors/etc

    I get approximately 500-800 uniques per day on that site, according to Adsense it's around 1500-3000 impressions daily.
    Average clicks per day is 4-5.
    It doesn't seem right to me. I've done all I possible can to place them good.

    Another question. The ads I'm keeping in the download categories (f.e http://tibiahelp.com/download_10_Web-Related.html), are they against the ToS?

    You should consider putting that 75% of clicks earner on EVERY page to maximize clicks. I did this and it improved my click count drastically.

    500-800 unique per day?
    how they can reach your web? is it through searching or direct?
    reaching it from google is high value
