Help needed with monetizing high traffic site

Hello,
I am currently running a popular forum at soccer-art.co.uk/forums

Now, there are around 19,000-22,000 ad impressions daily, however the CTR on the google ads is only around 0.10-0.12 % and the site makes only around $50-100 a month via adsense.

I have also placed a 728x90 advertisement banner that brings in around $60-70/mo.

There is also 160x600 skyscraper along the left of all the forum pages, which brings about $30/mo more.

However I think I should be earning more than $150/mo from Adsense and that is why I would like to ask for your help regarding monetizing the site properly and proper ad placement.

If you can help me suggest better ad placement/formats so that I am able to increase the CTR I will be very grateful, and I will also post back in this thread to report my results after a month or so.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Amaresh

Regarding your Adsense revenue, I think the problem is that you have a significant percentage of return visitors that unconsciously skipping your Adsense ads or any ads for that matter.

You may want to use cookies to rotate the ads placements and formats, to give an effect of fresh content / layout.

You can also try to use cookies to show the ads only once a day so that your loyal readers won't get ad-blindness.

In my case, putting Adsense of the left side (effectively dividing your forum page into two column) results in the highest CTR.

- Where is your content, really just adsense and sponsor ads.

Yahoo for publisher provides you with a higher revenue than adsense.

Maybe you might want to consider adding blogging features to star forumers to generate more content? That way you get more content and more advertisment space?

You may want to look more into the layout of your ads. Design helps & plays a big part in getting people to notice what you want them to see. Think abt it & play around to experiment for different results. Good luck
