1. I don't know if you're aware but you can now change in background colour in Chitika ads. If you give the ad a green background and blend it into the page it may get more clicks.

2. You have a set of four keywords but you use the exact same keywords on all the pages of your site. As you site is a directory with subjects ranging from Music to Mobiles spending some time picking out relevant keywords/products for each section will likely give you a higher clickthrough rate.

3. For help with choosing keywords/products please see this page. We'll be adding to it in due course.

4. Sizes and formats. I'd try a few different sizes/formats/locations. At present you have only one 728x90 Chitika ad at the bottom of the page.If you made that into a 468x60 and posted it at the top of the page under your "Submit Link" and added a left or right floated 250x250 within the main body of text you'd have two ads on each page and it wouldn't look too pushy. You'd be devoting an additional 25% of real estate but getting about 125% more clicks (guesstimate)

5. The only ad your site seems to be serving it a Computer Associates eTrust Intrusion Detection software. I don't believe it will get many clicks in your travel, cooking and art studio pages, for example. If you are using an SSI and therefore have the same Chitika code across all pages of the site I'd remove the current keywords and let Chitika serve contextual ads.

6. In 800x600 resolution and below there are no ads above the fold. A lot of people will not be seeing any ads on your site.

7. If you spend some time on our site, particularly the tips page I believe you could make a lot more with money than you are now.

Hope that helps.
