Wordpress/Adsense Help

Hey Warriors,

I'm currently using the Prosense Wordpress theme for one of my sites, which has adsense ads included in it. The problem is that it's not a very attractive theme, and because of this I believe my Bounce Rate is higher than it should be (80%+)

Although the CTR is decent (4%-5%), I think I would be better of with a more attractive them that encourages users to stay on the site longer, and possibly return.

I'm using the Atahualpha theme on another site, but am having trouble integrating it with adsense. I only have a very basic knowledge adsense, and even the plugins I've downloaded seem to be beyond me!

Does any know of either a very simple plugin that can yield a good CTR with little customization, or a attractive looking theme with asense integrated (free as well!)?

I kow this may be asking a lot, but any help woould be great.

    Some of the ugliest sites make the most money. Perhaps the content on the sites needs to be a bit more?

    Also, why not just add some photo or video to your posts?

    I just googled the theme to have a look. It looks good for adsense.

      The problem is that according to Google Analytics, around 80% of visitors spend less than 10 seconds on the site. To me, this doesn't give them enough time to read the content, so they must be put off by the way it's displayed.

      I think adding photo's may help

    You don't want them to read the content. You want them to think it's ugly, click an Ad instead, and make you money. That is the goal of using Adsense?
