I've heard people say that 1-2% is reasonable for CTR. I'm sure it's safe to say that a niche site pushing a product will do much better than a blog. For my site, after a week of adsense, I'm getting about 0.1% CTR. The worst part is, I'm getting 3,000+ visitors a day so I feel like I'm losing a lot of money here... Any help would be awesome howtomakeitinamerica.com
try blending in some ads in every post after the title of each new post. most peeps dont click on sidebar ads.
Also try to include intext ads papa0s0 was right although side ads are great no one really clicks them
