Hi All; I have heard that google adwords only gets a 3-4% click through, is this true? Is google adwords really the best option to get traffic to my blog? How soon will I see trafffic come to my blog? Regards SEOX
Click rates depend on which position your ad shows (like organics, the higher positions get higher relative click rates) and the ads themselves. Saying "I get a 3% CTR" means nothing by itself without knowing at least the position. I have some keywords with 40%+ (in first position) and others getting 7% in the same position while some get 20% in the third. Stop looking at and comparing click rates. Your QS is your indication of how well you are doing. I don't know what your blog is about but it can be a good way to get people to be aware it exists, if you want more people to read it. Normally, you advertise because you have something to sell and make a profit which blogs don't usually do.
