I know posting your URL is against TOS, and thus your URL will be removed - but having it in the thread does make it a lot easier to trouble shoot and share info. Maybe that is the rule for some good reason - but jeez.

As for your widgetpaperreview site, I see both ads. Some sites that are utility based like maps don't generally see high CTRs. Consumers aren't in the same state of mind when viewing a utility site vs a reference site vs a site about an burning itch below the waistline.

I would suggest getting rid of the black background in your ad. I think it is backfiring. I'd kill the right hand column and place an ad in the middle of the listings. Your site has a need to scroll so perhaps test killing the top ad and placing one at the bottom. Even though people tell you that you don't want ads below the fold, I can tell you if the meat of your site is below the fold, it will be worth your while to place something down there. Especially as in this case the meat is Jessica Alba.
