I realize many Adsensers focus on technical areas such as SEO, loans, credit cards and more. While these may be paying high, there's usually a great competition. Apart from competition, I realize surfers in these niches are usually people who surf the web very often, and would have been used to seeing Google ads. More over, they know whoever placed the ads is likely offering something for sale, and most people hate to spend and try to avoid doing so. They are more specific, going for just what they want and no more. So, they are more likely to ignore the ads. But there's another group of people who are likely to be more erratic in their searches since they use the web for less intensive purposes: Think of such people as kids, moms, retirees and teenagers. They are more likely to click on whatever they see without giving it a second thought. Please, if you have more of such niches, you can share them here. Thank you.
In order to get good CTR you must target audience that are females and over 35.Particularly Product Websites Showing Image ads have the High CTR
My observation: I use both interest based and targeted Ads. I have made interest based ads as image/graphics ads. believe me or not, the CTR is higher for those ads which are interest based. So say if you are using an ad unit in a sidebar of an article, use atleast one interest based/graphics. So people sees something different always. Increase in CTR is all about how you create the interest in your visitors about the Ad.
I am currently making health topics, would that be a good niche? Still working for 40 contents on the site. Target is to have a health article that consist unique contents. I have a friend who has this kind of website and earns $9 - $12 per day. Hoping that I could hit that mark with just 1 website that I am currently working on. Does Health Articles really pays higher inters of CPC?
Where'd you get those stats from? Being in that target audience myself I NEVER seen product ads, I just go straight to ebay/amazon and buy stuff there. Google at the moment is giving me the same two ads on every site I visit, which is starting to get annoying seeing just two ads for weeks straight now. Variety would be nice Mr Google.
to attract the teenagers the best is to make websites related to games, gaming console, review of latest products, and also some erotic / sexy topics but these don't have the expected CPC. that's why having high CTR most people avoid them.
