My CTR is very low could use some pointers

I think its prolly more related to optimising the placement and design of ads themselves rather than any specific advice on page optimisation – although it would be nice to read a ‘Dear rob, perhaps u should consider reducing the kw frequency of x in the fist paragraph and putting in an italicised Hn tag here and there..’ somehow, I doubt it. :-)

Look at all the sites selling AdSense e-books; they look like crap to say the least. But at least with those sites they still have a certain level of proffesionalism. This site looks just too shady.

And another thing that leaves me in the dust, is if the company behind this is so good at generating traffic towards sites. Why do the have the Alexa rank that they do; should be much higher than that. I know Alexa truly provides no statisitcs of real value, but anyone can acheive a higher rank on Alexa compared to theirs, if they work on it.

As for increasing your CTR…unreasonable. Unless something shady is going on behind the scenes. In fact more traffic is more likely to drop your clickthrough rate than raise it. Think of when you first start a site, low visitors with people clicking ads = higher CTR. Higher traffic with the same amount of people clicking ads = lower CTR.

I don’t like traffic exchange programs because the traffic they give you is generally not good quality.

The testimony that they have on the page seems very suspicious – saying that it increased their CTR – I don’t know how them sending more traffic would do that.

I’d give it a miss and build your blog’s traffic the old fashion way – write quality content, optimise your site for Search Engines and give it some time.
