Question I'm getting a lot of visitors but no clicks, is this normal

Here is my experimental blog, why experimental? cause im not a blogger and just to check out possibilities in adsense I have started it.

It doing pretty well for being only 2 months old.

Im getting around 120 visitors per day, on average around 100 visitors per day... but the thing is although I have my blog loaded with adsense no one is clicking on those ads.. i mean its negligible, like in every 600 visitors only 1 person clicks and I get a measly $0.05.

Like for that much visitors is this normal?

what am I doing wrong?

here is my blog : http://www.me-king.110mb.com

Hate to say it but thats about all mine gets as well.
Not many people these days are really interested in adds seemingly.
Not surprised really though. Cant remember the last time i clicked one.
That said some people here seem to do ok. Perhaps they just get 10X as many visitors and are a little more crafty in the way they place adds. But still i dont think most people go around clicking google adds thinking they are going to take them somewhere good.
Just my thoughts.

Where is your traffic from, if its from social bookmarking sites thats normal.... Stumbleupon and every other social bookmarking site is useless with adsense.

maybe its the ad format. i see that a lot of people have become adsense blind, including me, when I read a page, I just skip over the adsense portion without even reading it, its like it does not even exist.

A lot of people now recognize the adsense code and the content and diffrentiate between them.

so maybe using some other ad service may make a difference, I checked out widgetbucks but people dont seem to like it, there are a lot of negative reviews.

what do you guys recommend? do you have any recommendations from experience with your own pages?
