    CTR means click through rate. It means how many people click on your ads. It has high effect on adsense earnings.

    This is how Google officially explains CTR within their AdWords Help Center: "Clickthrough rate (CTR) is the number of clicks your ad receives divided by the number of times your ad is shown (impressions). Your ad and keyword each have their own CTRs, unique to your own campaign performance." Hope this helps?!

    CTR also affects the position of your ad, If you have two ads with bids of 10 cents and one has a CRT of 5% and the other has CTR of 3%, the 5% ad is likely to appear above the 3% one. Its a balancing act to write ads that get good CTR but also convert well.

    They say good CTR starts from 5%. But, it's all depends on traffic source and character of traffic source. For example, stumble upon traffic gives very very low CTR. They just bounce off right away. But, organic search gives good CTR since google displays the page to right people who needs it.

    CTR stands for Click Through Rate. CTR is how many peoples click on yours. No. of times clicks your ads divided by the no. of times ads shown.

    CTR (Click Through Rate) means how much person clicks your ads divided by how much Impression (shown your ads), if you chooses most relevant keyword, then CTR is high, always try to choose keyword niche quality.

    CTR is simply click through rate it means that how many times your add is clicked by user divided by how may times you add display.

    CRT = No. of clicked/No. of impressions

    This is the best answer. Essentially CTR is an abbreviation for Clickthrough rate. And, it's calculated by dividing the number of ad clicks you received by the number of times your ad was show. CTR = Ads Clicked / Ads shown. Hope that helps. For example if you had 20 ad clicks and 100 impressions your click through rate would be CTR = 20/100 which is a 20% clickthrough rate. I.E. 20% of the people who saw your ad clicked on it.

    CTR stands for Click Though Rate. It means what percentage of viewers who have seen the ad copy clicked on it. It basically is calculated by the portion of number of clicks over number of impressions. For example, if your ad has been viewed 1000 times and got 3 clicks then your CTR would be 0.3%.
