Is 15% CTR considered too High for a site with only 40-50 Uniques?

    My site with 40-50 uniques has a CTR of 15%, something I have never experienced before. Is someone doing a click fraud attack? Or is it normal.

    earnings is dismal though.

    Honestly, it would depend on many variables. I own some sites that have a CTR below 1%, and others that are a steady 30%. On the other hand, if you are used to having a CTR in the 5% range for the past 6 months and you now have had 7 days at 15%, it might be something worth looking into.

    Remember, with low number of visitors you only need a few clicks to have a high CTR.

    having 15% for visitor 40-50 visitor is fantastic....i got 2,000 ++ visitor per day but <1% CTR.

    i think it depends other factor also like ads position, type of user that visit to your site, ads that appear.

    Extremely high to me if the number of UVs is just 40-50 Maybe they have nowhere to go so just click and click to get out of such a page. It is possible anyway depending on how you organize your site pages.

    it happens, my old site in its prime brought in anywhere from 15%-75%(usually averaged about 45%) running on only 25-50 uniques per day, paying usually between $0.75-$2.25 per click.

    It's great that you are getting 15% CTRs. That is a high number.

    However, how much you make is a function of
    - no. of page impressions (related to how many visitors)
    - click throughs.
    - whether this is a high paying keyword or not.

    So while your CTRs are high, your earnings may not be high if the other 2 variables do not show good figures.
