    Clicks are around 30, 40 cents for a forum in french. that is pretty descent I guess for a forum (very low CTR). It is a general forum targetting Tunisia (that's a country in the north of Africa, for fellows is america :p ) and most of the ads are travel related which have usually low cpc.

    It depends on the keywords.

    I run a couple of dutch sites and I average around 10 cents a click. I'm building some english language sites so I can see the difference.

    There are 10 times less internet users speaking German, French, Spanish or any other language compared to the number of people able to read English.

    In many cases, it is way easier to increase by 10% the number of visitors of an existing site in English.

    take the link in the post, if you change the language the adsense ads change to another language as well.

    Good Point, but it just like finding small niches. It may be a good idea to cover all the bases and go after all niches whether small or large. Smaller niches also usually have less competition.

    With english sites, advertisers must pay a higher price to appear, cause the market is higher. With other languages prices per clic are lower, of course, but we must think that the difference depends on the keyword. I have several spanish sites. Some have about 0.04 $/clic and some others are giving me up to 2 $/click. About CTR, it's the same is we I had an english site.

    To sum up, most non-english languages have in general lower CPC, cause english market is bigger and advertisers must pay a higher CPC to appear en AdSense ads.
