What is a good CTR?

Hi, I own a tech site, am currently using adsense only. I have an image banner and ads in side bar and usually display an ad within the post and my CTR is less than 1% (around 0.5%). I have tried using different fonts and color schemes to blend the ads within the site's content, but it hasn't changed much.

I wanted to know wats good ctr and exactly wat shud i do to improve it?? any sugestions

 

A good CTR? As good as possible! I would consider anything above 5% to be very good.
To increase your CTR try to weave your ads with content, so they appear as seamless as possible (e.g. well blended).
Keep your content original and fresh and you'll get more visitors.

 

well i mostly give attention to increase traffic, but I think the ctr is not so good.. i don't see how one can get ctr as high as 5%

 

0,5% is really low...
You need to change something at your site.

 

adsense and your site content keyword matching, it would be improve ctr

 

how can i match the content of website and adsense manually..
I mean adsense does it by itself

 

& I am hoping to get some advice to improve it

 

You need to experiment with ad locations on the page. Also, in some cases, text ads pay better than image ads; sometimes it is the other way round. If your page is very good... then you may have low CTR, because you have the answers that your visitors were looking for! If you don't have all the answers to their questions, they are more likely to click on the ads...

 

i feel 3%-4% is ok...

 

Tech sites people already now what it is about so they may be less likely to click. Try to put things that interest them. I recommend combining your ads with infolinks if you don't already have them as infolinks have an ok CTR because a lot of people may think they are links. That being said for your ads try to get it to 1 or 2%

 

3% to 5% is a good CTR.

 

I'm not convinced to be honest. It would suggest that the content shouldn't be too valuable if you want to keep visitors on the site. And, there would be fewer returning visitors in that case.

 

Maybe your ads are not interesting for your visitors, actually there are billion reasons for a low CTR. Main thing is interesting banners. Maybe try content locking...

 

keep it 3%-4% 0.5 is low try 3% you can earn more good luck

 

Always Keep It's 3 for Better Performance

 

damn it, i get like 0.1%

gotta work on this.

 

to increase your ctr you must
1_get high traffic & visitors from usa _ australia_canada_ uk cauze visitors from this countries give you high ppc
2_use high paying keywords in your nich or content but not be like spammers (you can search about this point in google
3_use internal links to get high page views
4_use related posts plugin & best 1 yet another related posts very effective
wish that help
