Hi, I have a wordpress blog , just started it a month ago, I did not do any advertising campaign, apart from digg and tecnorati, I only get 11 results on google, but the usefulness of my articles I guess has brought me 2620 unique visitors that spend 1-2 minutes on the site My ctr is only 1.39% is this normal? what would those gurus suggest I could do to increase it? I have an adsense optimized theme and everything. I have made 2 more attempts this year in creating a blog that earns money, and I am always stuck on this 1.30-1.50 although I get like 3000 people a month. Should I market the website more, or focus on the ad placement or the article phrasing?
1.3-1.5% CTR is not bad for a blog. You need to improve your traffic. One thing that can help is testing ad locations.
So, let's say my blog is optimized for the ad placement and I get 1.4% ctr, do you think I should stop worying on the CTR and focus on promotion and ranking?
