    Not normal. What can I say. May be you should focus on your ad placement, background color, etc. Optimization of Your ad. Any thing you do will be better than doing nothing and it cant' hurt

    I think that CTR depends on the traffic and blog's topic.

    To give you an example, if a blog is targeting internet marketing and the like and the traffic consists of other IM folk, your CTR will down.

    Those guys know what adsense and affiliate links are (they are probably pushing the very same thing) and are A LOT less likely to click on ads.

    Google traffic is probably the best when it comes to CTR.

    Where is your traffic coming from? I hope that all this makes sense.

    That would be normal for the content network but not for the search network.

    No it isn't. Maybe, all your traffic is referred from one network or some traffic generating sites. Concentrate more on search engine traffic by doing some SEO on your site.

    My traffic comes from links from other sites and some search results.
    You said "normal forcontent network but not for the search network"
    what does that mean?
    thanks

    Abnormal if the traffic is natural traffic. In this case, you might need to review your content and ads placement

    I suggest you play around with your ad placement, blending of colors, etc.

    There are plenty of days where my ctr sucks a lot. I'll go hundreds of impression without a click. Others I'll get 2-4 clicks per hundred impressions. It's all random, and a small sample like this isn't a big enough sample to know if there's a problem.

    There are days where I'll go hundreds of impressions without a click and others where I'll get 2-4 clicks every hundred impressions. It's all random, and your sample size isn't big enough to draw conclusions from.
