Could you take a look at my website and give me a few tips on my adsense banner placement?

What am I doing wrong with the placement of my ads and what am I doing right?

Front page:
The Rundown // TheRundown.TV // NOW, LET'S RUN IT DOWN!

Article page:
Slimfast Style Your Slim Event Red Carpet Arrivals // On The Carpet // TheRundown.TV

I'm currently averaging 30,000 - 35,000 pageviews a day to my site on adsense and only making $8-12 daily with an average CPM pf $0.55 !!!

Should I stick with google? If not... then who?

35,000 pageviews a day - WOW!
Why not try adbrite?

Change your header to text ads! Image ads looks goods but don't work!

Is adbrite better CPM ?

your page loads slow for me..if it really slow the putting adsense link ads on the top would be great as it appears before your site so when user sees your site is slow they just click the adsense ads and leave your site...this is just a simple tricks .

lets get back to review...

Nice site but do you know why you are not getting any clicks?

Yea its the image ads go back to text ads i gurrenty you'll get atleast $50-60 per day..

see those image ads are not really related to your site contents...so why the visitors would be interested to click your ads.

I recommend that you improve your ad blending. Make your ads look more like content and they will give more views and more clicks. This may require that you use more solid colors and fewer gradients in your site design.

Also look at ad placement. Top banners don't perform nearly as well as ads embedded with the content. Use the AdSense Heat Map.

Finally, I would recommend that you try the large rectangle and medium rectangle ads. They appear to outperform leaderboards and banners.

I completely agree with Will regarding the rectangle ad units. Find good ways to integrate that ad for your best CTR results.

With this kind of traffic and topics I would consider to start to sell ads directly. Your adsense ads did not make any interest to click even.

I personally don' like the banner itself. Its hard to even tell what its for. That may be your problem right there.
