Animation or GIFS usually outperforms static when it comes to adult niche.

That being said, I stopped doing adult stuff a while ago cause I was sort of working at Starbucks :(

0.20% CTR on banners is good. It's double global banner CTRs of 0.1%.
See this article : Rebirth of native advertising.

I thought I had a problem because I had no shoes, until I met a man with no legs ... :)

Hey Chris a few options.

Since TJ is static banners ( at lest it was a year ago) your problem lies on a few things.

1. Banner blindness, I bet your ads are not very unique, when the same people see the same ads ctr goes down, pretty common sense. So Change things up, your angle your layout etc.

2.Being on TJ people are used to see the "same old" give them something fresh that isnt naked per say

3. Some PS techniques like improving the Vibrancy of your banners work well, split test some photo effects.

4. Ad copy is the some old "craiglist" stuff again mix it up.

5. ad a border

6. Finally ctr shouldnt matter to you, what really matters is ROI, would rather have a banner that has .3 ctr with 100% roi then a banner with 1.5 ctr with -10% roi

Good luck

Hey there..

Actually CTR is good IF you are targeting super popular countries like US, UK and AU.. but not that great if you are targeting some obscure countries like Asian countries or something! It depends..

I agree with GetFansService, nice suggestion. You can also manage your time and money in StudyGeek to earn much money that you expected.

Don't waste your time/money on ad networks that barely control a fraction of the search market.

Re: How To improve ctr
 

I agree with the sentiments above.....however, I'll add a few of my own...

1. Use an Ad Server. If your just starting out, DoubleClick by Google is free and very useful: DoubleClick for Publishers ? Small Business


2. Make sure your banner DOES NOT blend in with the website(s) you are advertising on, but sticks out. This includes contrasting colors.


3. Ensure that your banners are above the fold whenever possible, even if it means a higher expense.


4. Make sure your call to action is VERY clear. It should be the first thing visitors notice on your banner. Don't make them question for one second what your offering.


5. Your message and color scheme of your banner should match your squeeze/landing page.


6. Animations and Flash will only work if it doesn't conflict with your message, but highlights it. Example, a 3 page text message scrolling across your banner to merely highlight what you have to offer will NOT work. Your message should be seen immediately, yet include a flash or glow to help it catch the users eye more quickly.
