    I would like to know this so I and others can have an idea of what to expect in general.

    I average 3% - 4% (last two months).

    I thought it was against the rules to post your CTR?

    The CTR in my forum is very, very low - far below what you guys have posted. Because it is so low, i started using Kontera to supplement my income.

    i would love to know how you get 3%-5% CTR?! where/how are your ads placed? can you post or PM me the URL to your forum? i'd love to see it.

    Only show ads to guests to get a higher CTR.
    Members hardly click them anyway.

    my forum CTR is very low. I lost my confience and started focusing on contents. I feel forums are not earning good.

    I have 1.4 to 2.8.

    CTR sometimes depends on the placement of your ads.

    My site is both content and a complementing forum, I have a much higher ctr on my content portion than my forum. But I guess I also get a higher number of uniques on my content portion since my forum is for a rather small target group just in Florida.

    Forums always have lower ctr because the focus of members are into the discussions...especially if your ads are outside the posts areas.

    Silver then you place the ads inside :D

    anyhow
    - Before when i had adbrite and they shoulded Adult Ads/Gaming Ads, i would get about 10% CTR :D
    Thanks Paris Hilton <<

    - Now with Google i get like less then 1% -_-
    Thats why i plan to make a VB Skin that has both Adbrite and Google Ads merged into it :D
