I've taken some of your suggestions into effect, but I've still got a little work to do as it applies to moving the ad into the content. I've wanted to, but I need to change the settings on my posts so that I'm only ever showning three (at most) ad blocks per page, as is mandated by google. I'll fiddle with it when I get some time. Thanks again :) Thanks for the advide folks. I’ve taken some of your suggestions into effect, but I’ve still got a little work to do as it applies to moving the ad into the content.

Not knowing your daily hits, I can't say whether $34 in a year it's good or bad. You might try moving your ads over your banner. You can also put ads down the side, which increase the chances of a click. You could also try blending them more. Get rid of the slight bar around them and make them seem more integrated into your page. Alternatively, put some between posts. Traffic is the key.

If you're blocking scripts, you're blocking my tracking script too :) There's no way to tell how many people visit without JavaScript. Having said that, script blockers are common to every website. But I still hear people's figures, which don't match mine. I've gotta be doing something wrong. Hey, thanks for the comment Dave.

I use NoScript for Firefox, and I don't allow anything from googlesyndication.com to run scripts, and I never added this site to be allowed to run scripts, and unless both are enabled, the ads just aren't there. I am certainly somewhat unique among those that I talk to everyday, but I doubt I'm all that unique in blocking/disallowing javascript content. Perhaps that is one problem...I don't know - what do your logs/tracking say? If you aren't tracking "No Javascript" type of users, I suggest adding something and taking a look at that statistic. Other than that, though, I have no idea. I break the mold in that I *very* rarely click on ads, no matter where they are, what they say, or what they are for. Like I said, I'm unique.
