    It addition to your ad placement, it depends on your niche, how targeted your traffic, and the actual ads running. I have a site that consistently has a CTR above 25% and using the same template for a similar keyword, the CTR is around 10%. The difference? The traffic from keywords is different - i.e. if you have a camera site, ranking for "how to take pictures" is convert less than ranking for "Buying a camera".

    i had as much as 35% CTR form one site that i was running before. if you have good ad placement, you can easily get 8% - 10% CTR. for blogs however, CTR is often lower than sites unless you have a custom theme making it look like a site and you add the adsense code within the content. typical sidebar ad on the blog will not generate any more than 4% - 6% CTR on average

    Yes, I have listened about guys having 14% - 18% CTR rate and I think it is the best for any site.

    Similar situation. This looks like the month where I will be breaking the 5% CTR on one site where I have made changes. All I did was choose the large text option for Adsense units. I also find that an ad unit immediately below the article title increased CTR. And I got rid of the link units. Wasted clicks. So let's see if this holds out over the long term.

    Woah! That's a great CTR you got there. I'm generally in the gray area of anywhere between 0-4 which now, doesn't look all too good. Any tips?

    I suppose niche, traffic and ad placement will play an important role in higher CTR.

    Hmm...I've been wondering about the effectiveness of link units. Like even in the case of imedia123.

    I can't somehow see any use of link units. Anybody, care to weigh in?

    You can better your CTR if you can use ad within your content. I got good results from it.

    Typically my CTR runs about 22%. The biggest factor is as someone above mentioned, the keywords you choose. Blog layout also has a lot to do with it but if you can catch someone in the buying mindset you are much more likely to get that click. Of course, you could always link to the product direct and make an affiliate commission too :D
