Ads Intergration

rustypaulin · 20-09-2005, 22:16

I would like to know what people think about the intergration of my ads, I haven't been getting all that good a click through rate, about 0.5% and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to improve it. The sites are http://www.postalserviceaccess.com and http://www.postalserviceaccess.com/forum
Somedays i get about 500 impressions and only 1 or 2 clicks. Please help.

I'd guess that they don't see the forum ads as they are at the bottom, also I would guess that most people simply swtich off to ads these days

yeah but its quite annoying that i get 658 impressions in a day and then don't get any clicks at all

Can't make them click, the only thing you can do really is to perhaps change the colours and position so they are more in your face, however that may scare off visitors

i've read that blending in ads makes them more likely to be clicked but hopefully the amount of clicks will increase soon

Another thought, check with your ad provider first, but some sites have a simple "Please visit the ads to help fund this site" message, that may help.
