If you are seeing PSA's, etc. then chances are you are smart-priced. This will affect all of your sites that are using Adsense, not just the one site with a 0 or low CTR. This is what sucks about Adsense. The issue with Adsense is if you have too many impressions and no clicks, you can end up getting smart priced.

I'm inclined to agree that bloggers don't bring so many clicks as search. The connection between Adsense and search seems to make sense.

I had a strong and short increase on traffic when I posted about the Boeing 777 that crash landed in Heatrow days ago. I posted shortly after the event and got many visits from search engines. These new readers were focused on this even only, so many did not came back, and they were not really prone to clicking ads, which was clearly visible in the corresponding CTR drop. However no regrets, my goal with this post was to inform, not to make money... Blogging for money yes, but not only for money ! Otherwise I would be running a really "different" kind of blog / website. Nature of traffic is really a key element.
