    Why the click rates in gaming sites are quite low. I have seen many people complaining about that.

    My question is how many of you have good average click rate with gaming blogs?

    What I mean good here is atleast 25 cents per click (average value).

    We generaly know (click rate) clickthrough rate (CTR) is the number of clicks an ad receives divided by the number of times the ad, ad unit, or page is shown, depending on the type of impressions you're viewing.

    You might be talking of cost per click which is very low for gaming sites if you get 3 cents average you are lucky as its a low paying keyword and CTR droped a great deal as well after new images next to ads policy.

    My gaming website is averaging 20 cents per click. On some days, it's really bad though, and I get like 5 cents per click.

    well, yes. I meant about cost per click. Though the average CPC is low, it is quite easy to get high percentage of high CTR and high traffic.

    My gaming forums average bring in about $0.25 pc on average. Not great. Try and introduce a slightly new topic which is related to get some higher paying ads. Eg. I have a page on how to play music within Counter-strike and I get ads for audio equipment.
