Could someone please look at my website and suggest a few ways as to how I can improve my CTR? I'm willing to completely re-design the website, if needs be. Open to all suggestions.

Btw, ignore the fact that the colours aren't consistent, as I'm currently running a split test.

Thanks.

  • A better site background and layout would be nice. Where are your pictures?

    • Waaaaaaay... too much bold text on the page.
    • The header image is distracting, IMO.
    • Adsense locations look good.
    • Test the Adsense Ad title color as , which is Googles SERP bold color.
    • The bright colors of the social buttons on the left are distracting, If the social buttons aren't performing move them down the page, or change the colors to a light shade of gray (color on mouse over).

    • Thanks, Yukon. I'll do as you suggested. Would you suggest changing the colour of the H1,H2,H3 tags or the background?

  • Ive always hired someone on freelancer to help with it. They do a great job at blending the ads into the page/blog

    BTW, I should have said this earlier to OP.

    Good to see you testing, a lot of people build sites & expect them to earn money from a single site setup (build it & forget it), doesn't work like that.

    I've had same types of sites (themes) on separate domains & traffic behaves different from one site to the next (similar content on both sites).

    Keep testing & make notes of the results (what worked, what didn't work).
  • always use adsense friendly template. The best way to display ads was putting on left side of the header.
  • Just don't use popular MFA templates. It's a red flag.

    Nice work so clean and pro. Suitable color combination, background and font color. Basically I think the template is excellent for this type of site neat, clean, and navigatable. Great work. I like it.

  • Thanks for all the tips, guys. I changed things quite a bit, but am unsure if I'm pushing it with my ad placement - in the sidebar and bottom of the post. What do you think? If I add headings saying "Related Posts" and "Ads" should I be okay? Here's the site.

      Remove either the Adsense block in the footer, or the link list next to the Adsense.

      The link list looks too much like Adsense Ads, with no separator between them.

      The sidebar links might be pushing your luck, IMO.

      The colors on everything else look a lot better.
  • Less adsense above the fold. Usually one blog per 500 words is a good rule of thumb.
