    Hey all

    I get many clicks from adsense but they all have a low CTR.

    why is that?
    Can I do something to increase it?

    Please help.

    You can try and target better paying keywords but there is more competition for these. Mobile phones and stuff have high paying keywords and get clicks of $5.00 or more but the competition is steep. Depends on your website really.

    You mean stuff like www.adsblacklist.com ? It generates a list of low paying sites for your keywords that you can block in adsense.

    I tried it.
    But there is no major change.
    In this site of mine I get low CTR but many clicks.
    On my other sites I a very high ctr but not so many clicks.

    Anything else I can do to raise my ctr?

    You should also be careful with cheat and hack sites that they don't end up breaching Google TOS. Google explicitly say in their TOS that there certain subjects that they don't allow AdSense on.

    Now having said that I know that most cheat sites don't really offer hacks or malicious programs nor are they REALLY in breach of any laws but just be careful either way.

    In regards to having small EPC/CPC I think you will find that when it comes to cheat sites there aren't a whole lot of advertisers for that section of the market but there is a whole lot of people searching for such things and going to such sites - I don't know what it is about people but there are loads of people that just want to cheat their way to the top.

    Anyway when you have situation like this you have loads of supply of ad space and not a lot of demand which essentially forces the prices for ads in that industry down. It's that simple really.

    What can you do about it - like some said about you might try and filter a few of the lower paying advertisers if you can.

    EDIT: I'm not sure if what you are looking for? Do you want to improve EPC or CTR because they are different things - if you want to increase the number of people clicking your ads that is really a case of blending your ads and placing them in highly visible positions - but you should but posting in the Placements and Reviews section.
