So, I have a site that is at pos 3 in Google. I have some pageviews and some clicks but not even a 1% click-through rate. I was thinking maybe it's because the ads are not related. But I don't know how to check what ads are appearing on my site.

The problem is I live in Singapore and I'm targetting US visitors. Can somebody show me how I can view the ads on my site just like the US visitors would see the ads? So then I can narrow down the reason for this lack of clicks..

Another thing I've noticed is that when I key in this particular keyword into spyfu, it shows as 0 advertisers but about $2 cpc. Can somebody explain what this means to the ads on my site? Is it that they are not laser-targetted?

    You can use a US-based proxy to view your site and see what ads usually show up.

    You can confirm whether there are advertisers for that keyword with Google Keyword Tool (the green bar). If the green bar is very low, it means very few are bidding for that keyword and therefore it's likely the ads won't be targeted.

    I'm thinking your keyword is just not a buying keyword, and there are very few if any, advertisers or customers interested in any products/services related to that keyword which you rank for.

    Hi Dellco, thanks for your feedback. I think so too. Or maybe just not enough advertisers. According to spyfu, there's 0 advertisers for the month of April. But they were advertising before that. Thanks. I'll take this in my stride. Maybe I'll put some amazon products there instead.
