[TD="class: alt1"]For AdSense clicks there are a number of things you can do:
Keyword relevancy: Make sure the keywords you are using and targeting actually have advertisers bidding and paying. If you are choosing keywords with Low Competition or no active advertisers then you will not have relevant ads displayed on your page.
Ad Placement: Where your ads are located has a big impact on how often they are clicked. Different niches/markets have different optimal ad placement. Generally you want the ads in your content. So an ad block at the top under the article title or 1st paragraph, another in the middle of the article and another at the bottom. Test different layouts to see which converts.
It varies by the market, but ads in headers, sidebars and other odd places don't work as well as ads closer to what the reader is looking at.
Ad Design: Make sure the ads are designed to work with your website design. Tweak the ad colors, text, etc. Don't slap a default blue & green Google ad on your smoke grey and orange website.
Get lots of traffic: AdSense is not like an affiliate offer or link to Amazon. You cannot direct people to click on the links. You can't directly review or promote the items in the ads since you have no idea what ads are showing or promoting. To make up for a lack of "pre-selling" you need lots of targeted traffic.
Are you in a good niche? A lot of people are just making generic sites to try and drive a lot of "viral" traffic in the hopes of making money.
If your site does not have a focused target niche that will be able to bring relevant traffic then you will need a TON of traffic to make it worth the random clicks on ads you are going to get.
