Just wanted to get your take on this blog here. I woked it this weekend, and got some decent CTR, but there is always room for improvement. Any suggestions?

I just replaced the Google banner with the Aff ad on the header. Should I put the adsense back or let this run?

Ran a campaign on this and its does well.

The goal, which I got from the Earn Money Online blog, is to put up multiple blogs under
 


Put your ads on the left. People read from left to right. This way they will see your ads before anything else. This method works for me on everything I run. Thats if you are making at least 50% of your income from adsense. I know those are decent paying keywords in your content.
 
made the switch to the ads to the left side of the page. Went back to the Adsense ad at the header, in the form of links. will ad another article this afternoon.
 
i'd say put the picture ad thats below the adsense above the "blog archive" it'll help it blend in nicer

also your text looks really bland because its on a light background, link keywords to your affiliate links, it'll help it stand out more, feel free to bold your headings as well.

also if you havent already, design a nice banner for the top of your site, it'll give it a more solid feel to it rather than just the text of your blog name
 
CTR as of yesterday was 2.8% on 5,100 impressions. I was hoping to get a bit more clicks. My QS wasn't the best, so I kept adding keywords to my list in ADWORDS over the weekend. Also, I just signed on with a PLR this past weekend for 24/mo and used several of their articles.

Much of this was really testing out a campaign. I see that money can definitely be made from this niche, but your pockets need to be a bit deeper. This is going to be a site that I will add 15-30 more article over the next month or two, continue to work on seo, through:

1. social bookmarking
2. meta tags
3. article submissions
4. linking to the big credit sites
5 figuring out how to get RELEVANT backlinks


The goal is to put up dozens of blogger sites and also prosense sites through hostgator which I use. I buy .INFO domains for $2 bucks and make throwaway sites, if it pans out fine, if not, move on.
