    Hello, I've installed adsense for feeds lately, but I've found the CTR to be extremely low. For example, for 7900 impressions I only got 7 clicks (0,09%).

    What I wanted to know is if this CTR is common or if it's just me and perhaps I have to do something about it.

    I have also installed adsense for feeds but I got no clicks for more than 10,000 impressions. It's not a main account earning source I guess.

    I think if the feed is bookmarked in the browser the ads will not seen so can't get the ad clicked

    It's hard to judge the CTR for feeds. If you put adsense after each post, then
    your rss feed will show a ton of posts. It may be strange, but it is adsense-legal
    to have many, many ad blocks on one page from an rss feed. last time I checked
    mine, my rss feed showed 30+ posts. That's 30+ ad blocks at a time. I think
    they count each one, so the impressions on rss feeds can add up quickly.
