How low of a CTR before you remove it?

    Hi

    I have an adsense Link unit at the top of my pages.

    http://www.ipodspeakerreviews.com/klipsch/klipsch-igroove-ipod-speaker.html

    The link unit is just below the navigation across the top.

    It consistently has an average 0.25% CTR which is not that great.


    At what point would you turn off the unit?

    It makes few dollars per day and I am not sure what I would put in its place.

    I guest the balance is between making money and not having a spammy looking site.

    All suggestions are welcome!

    You never close an ad unit just because of a low CTR, it might have a high conversion rate which in turn earns you more money. CTR is nothing without conversions, you'll find yourself smart priced with a high CTR and a very low coversion rate.
