91 impressions, zero clicks

    Those are the numbers so far today... very strange to have that low of a CTR. I'm usually at around 5%. Just checking to see if anyone else is getting a goose-egg for some reason?

    Where's the traffic from?

    If it's repeat visitors they may have become "blind" to the ads.

    Also 91 impressions isn't that high. There could have been 1 or 2 visitors that generated most of those impressions and not click on any ads.

    likely ads are less relevant on your site today. This happens all time

    Lol. Nothing of that all. If you have 5% CTR then its very normal to have no clicks in 91 views. Check bulks of like 10,000 views at a time to make a report. With 5% you except someone to click every 20 views? :) Thats absurd. Sometimes 5 visitors click in row. Sometimes 500 dont click at all. It happens. Dont worry and just check later when you have a bit more views.

    Thx guys, I figured it was just the way the numbers are working out today but thought I'd check in with other AS users to be sure.

    A round of little green dots on me... :)

    How true. It can be frustrating though.

    Good points all. Just remember, if you flip a coin 500,000 times you will see a surprisingly large number of "streaks" that seem to defy the odds.

    Those who spend too much time in casinos have seen this all the time on blackjack tables and at the roulette wheel, too.

    Streak volatility.

    So, 91 and counting without a hit may be nothing more than an ugly streak that will rectify itself over time.

    Of course, if the number 7 comes up on the wheel five times in a row, someone from the casino is gonna shut down the game and check the equipment. So, it was wise to make sure it isn't an obvious relevancy problem, though.

    Thanks again all, wound up getting a little over 200 "adsense" impressions before my first click... oh well, tomorrow's a new day. :)

    91 impressions can't say much. It's too volatile.
    just think about it, 4 clicks from one visitor, and the CTR will shoot up to 5% already.

    10,000 impressions but no click? Now, that is something. Probably you can try these tips http://www.hundredtips.com/100-google-adsense-tips.html to improve your CTR.
