Any suggestions for optimizing adsense on this site?

Anyone have any suggestions on how to better optimize this site? Consumer Debt Line - Credit & Debt CTR is about 11% would like to get it closer to 20%, all of the traffic to the site is finance related, specifically credit repair related.

Any tips are appreciated.

haave you tested big ad blocks like 300 or 250X250?

too much leakage. You want adsense clicks. Not non-adsense clicks.

split test that shit! try crazyegg.com or use the split testing part of the script I posted the other day, just throw up 3 variations and see what does better, make 3 variations of the winner.. keep it going. Its alot more effective than anything else..

yea all that stuff

crazyegg.com is good. Aos run adrep and some other programs

Yes, run split testing.

Try making the adsense links blue, to match all other links on the site.

Dump the "Advertise on this Site" links in adsense.

This is what I was going to say. With all the ContentLink links you're giving up some (a lot?) of your CTR there. BTW, nice site Mike!

yea thats right

Thanks for all the input on the site. We threw this site together to monetize our exit traffic and surprisingly enough it makes some nice change for us.

Engaged is always harsh, its from the constant abuse he receives on WF.

I think he likes the abuse. To be fair though, engaged does contribute some good info every so often. :xomunch:
