Help with advertising/adsense

Hey guys,

I recently launched a proxy which has been up since the 1st June and as of yet i've failed to hit the $1/per day mark. I am wondering what I can do to boost page impressions and boost the amount of clicks my ads are recieving.

The website can be viewed here.

I am thinking about using a program where I get paid by page impression, would this be worth it?

Kind Regards,
Lewis.

What are your traffic stats like?

I think a few more ads wouldn't go a miss.

It's ultimately your traffic. You can tweak your ads a bit to make them more noticeable or make them blend in with your site more but if you keep gaining more traffic more revenue will come.

Of course, but the click through rate isnt exactly brilliant as it is. Any way of improving it?

As Sysblnk said... Make them more noticable, or blend them in with the design, and add more ad units.

Thanks for this tip, I have the same problem

At the moment if you take a look at your site, its well designed but not designed for good click through. Its basically easy to spot your ad and move on.

You need to really change things around and test with different colors, placements etc to get a good clickthrough rate.

If I were you I'd try some ads under the input box and above the submit button. Id make the ad background the same blue as the content as well.

You're contradicting yourself there, which one is it, make them noticable or blend them in?

In my experience over the past few years different sites work differently. Some take making them more noticeable some take blending them in. I think for this particular site blending them in would be the key.

I might change the actual structure of the ads all together instead of using the 468x60 banner. Think this would increase my CTR?
