Maybe reposition your ads? Since I assume your using WordPress and not something more exotic like Drupal or Typo3, why did you spend $40 on a design? There are tons of sites out there with free templates of all different formats for WP. Download one, change the top image, tweak here, tweak there, and your good to go. Perhaps this is just my ignorance showing through, but I think designs like the one you would find at theomegaproject.org are a bit of a waste (design, not coding). Most of the world still uses dial-up and no one goes to these sites to look at the pretty design. Make it look nice, make it look inviting, but that?s it.

Here's a little update. My blog has been averaging 1k uniques for the past couple of days. It was quite nice to see it hit that 1k milestone. It steadily started to rise the past month. 98% of the traffic is from google.com. images.google.com is #2 and google.co.uk is #3.
Despite this, I have only made two more sales since my last post in this thread. One was to latinteencash I just made last week, and one was for FTVGirls just after I made my last post here. The FTVGirls sale is now on its 3rd rebill.
I recently talked with someone, and he said that I need to monetize my site a little better. He is right, but what about the traffic I have sent to the sponsors? The problem isn't just getting more people to click through.. what about the traffic that was sent? My ratios are quite poor.
