Could you guys take a look at www amobi dot com and give me feedback on this blog.

I think that the ads are blended in properly but the CTR is really low.

Looking for a fresh set of eyes.. I have been looking at this &^&% for too long..

Thanks

    I am certainly no expert but here is my two cents... The page is very nice on the eyes and has interesting content. I just noticed when I went on it that I had to go back and double check that there are ads there. I see a bunch of adsense ads, but I did have to re-look. I would suggest putting ads at the top of the page somewhere so they stick out for the first time visitor..

    I won't say too much about the ad placement cos I'm not experienced enough to pass judgment, although IMO they are well placed, not sure why you've got a low ctr.

    what i will say is that the page in general looks excellent, very professional!

      I think your blog is very good indeed - how low is your click thru rate.

      One question comes to mind. Is the purpose of your blog to earn money from adsense or is this a secondary strategy?

        Thanks for your response.

        Can't tell you how low (Adsense TOS) but really low.

        Purpose of the blog is primarily self expression but I believe it's a profitable niche as well..
