What is a good Page CTR? What do you think?

[homebizseo]

What is a good Page CTR for google adsense per 1000 page views. Is the CTR about the same each month or does it vary greatly? What do you think?

[dairyman]

The normal CTR ranges between 2-5% and in some extreme cases may go up to 10%.
The CTR may vary depending on how frequently the ad location is altered in your site or how frequently your visitors click the ads over a period of time, but the overall CTR for a given site remains fairly constant in the long run.

[angilina]

I think 5% CTR is really good.

[aninfo]

What about getting more than 15% CTR? My sites are getting 2.65% CTR. Some one told me that getting CTR more than 10% is bad.

You are kinda right, because there is a rumor that Google will flag a site with CTR more than 10%.

[ursfehr]

THE CTR range is normally between 2-5% and in some extreme cases may go up to 8%

[paKTua]

as long as up to 1% i'm happy :P

[cheapez]

My is 1.92%, is that low? what you get?

[ORZ]

Depends on site, content and so on.
A forum? I'd say 1% CTR is good
An optimized website? Well 10% is good

[cheapez]

A forum? I'd say 1% CTR is good
So my is good.

[ameran]

I had max %10. But usually it is between 2-5 percent.

1.
if your site is in en
then 10+%

2. if your site is in central EU languages then more

3.
if your site in latin american languages (es/pt) or fr
then 6-10%

4.
if your site for asian market - then MORE or much more than 10% can be achieved

anything less is result of DE-optimization or failure to FULLY optimize ALL factors = placement + formats + color scheme

A lot depends on the type of person your site attracts

[Sockmoney]

We end up around 2% average over all our channels...

[zexy]

I consider 2% a good CTR. Usually MFA sites with low quality content will get a much higher CTR though.

[Erikman]

That's my opinion too. It's really good. I've been getting little over 3% for a couple of sites.

[Renegadez]

I was getting about 7-9%, Then after a couple of new pages, it was up to 15%, but I guess the new addition of pages was against their terms or something, and was banned.

[crespoo]

Page impressions 2,174
Clicks 297
Page CTR 13.66%
Page eCPM [?] $26.89
Earnings $58.47

[jakeruston]

1% or 2% is usual, more would be good.

[sultanofseo]

entirely depends on your site (niche and visitor geo). ad positioning and blending in goes along with that too. some site will have as low as 1% CTR and some would have 10% or even 20% or more.

[>>>TO><IC<<<]

MY site's CTR is 8.5% and em SOOO HAppy with it

[bizmart]

It depends on how well you've set up your pages. If you have a lot of other stuff on your pages competing for visitors attention (like on the five column homebizseo site in your signature) you should only expect a low CTR.

I truly believe that anyone who isn't getting at least a 10% CTR simply isn't trying hard enough. But I can see why some don't get that much. Often their site layout/design doesn't do a good job of putting ads in visitors faces and because changing it on hundreds of pages can be a major job many people just don't bother with it and end up with sub 10% CTR's from here to kingdom come.

Of course, there are probably some types of sites that will never be able to get over 1-2% CTR no matter how good the layout of the pages is. For example, in the majority of cases it would probably be quite difficult to tweak, say, a forum sufficiently enough to maintain a high CTR. So, ultimately it comes down to both the type of site and the layout of it.

[luckyluck]

my site alway <1%. I think 1 -2$ is good. I more CRT you lose visitor your site.

[add_cents]

My CTR is ridiculously low because most of my visitors come back to the website every day.

What would be bad about a CTR more than 10% -- unless the clicks were fraudulent. Of course, a CTR of 1% is bad if the clicks are fraud. It's fairly common for pages with good content, high ad relevancy, good ad placement, and good ad blending, to achieve 70% CTR -- with legitimate clicks. Nothing wrong with that. It would be rare to have an entire site's average CTR to be that high, but 10% or so is not uncommon.

[thivakaran]

I think 5% in very high for me...
