    Please give me some constructive criticism and advice. I am having trouble getting people to click my adsense ads too…I would love it if anyone has any advice as to why? I am receiving about 1500 uniques per month…should convert at least 2% to click my ads right? I must be missing something πŸ™

    Anywhoo…any feedback is appreciated and I thank you in advance for your time.

    Anyone please? Just want some feedback is all.

    You have a deafult theme. Nothing to comment on it. One might say something about your header image – but I am not a picture critic.
    We discourage any comments on the content here.

    As for your ads: Don’t believe the statistics. When you see the same G. ads everywhere on almost every blog – you become immune and don’t even bother to look at them.

    Ditto what Moshu said, also, if you’re going to use the default theme, download the latest one or at least fix the footer so it displays correctly in IE. Like the content though.

    Thanks guys…is there a theme that you could recommend that would display my content better? I’ve tried quite a few but the default seems to be the easiest to manage + looks the best based on what I’ve tried…I don’t want it to look like a blog but I know it is hard to avoid with the default theme…

    I don’t see the issue in IE on my end…using IE 7 and it displays properly for me…

    Can anyone recommend a theme that can display my content better than the one I am currently using?

    I don’t want it to look like a blog but other than that I am not picky…

    Thanks!

    Try going through the themes at http://themes.wordpress.net – lots of nifty looking ones there.

    No idea how you can convert ads to clicks though – I NEVER click on ads even if I’m a regular user and like the content – I donate in other ways. I refuse to be bothered with ads, in fact I use RIP and adblock to their fullest potential.

    So adding a donate link would be a good idea? I am with you there…I don’t click ads either…

    Has anyone done well with a donate link? How about an amazon wishlist? …I’ve seen those a lot.

    Again, I appreciate the feedback. πŸ™‚

    So…does anyone make any money doing this or is my attempt to break even on the server costs + a little extra futile?

    There are apparently those who monetize blogs and do fine. I don’t know how they do it – it’s not anything I’ve ever been interested in.

    Try searching (google’s probably your best bet) for “monetize blog” and see if you turn up anything.

    Great Idea! Thanks!

    The first one that I read actually recommends adsense lol.

    Heh – there you go, and see, I figured that was such a “throw away” answer I didn’t want to give it! *laughing*
