Hi and welcome!

First of all, I do believe you should have your own domain but that's not necessarily the reason why people aren't clicking your ads. You mentioned you are getting traffic but how much? Most people don't start seeing any decent income/clicks from AdSense until they have at least 150 visitors per day. Are you getting that many?

Second, try experimenting with placement. I see you have the ads across the top and the big box in the middle but to me they look so much like ads that I could see why people may ignore them. Have you tried aligning the ads vertically along side your text with no box around it?

I've never been a fan of using a border around Google ads. To me it always yells "This is an ad!!" and I've gotten better clicks without the border. Experimentation is definitely key and you may want to experiment more with placement and colors.
