What is your website's CTR (be honest!)

  1. .3-.7%

    2 vote(s)
    40.0%
  2. .7-1%

    0 vote(s)
    0.0%
  3. 1-1.5%

    0 vote(s)
    0.0%
  4. 1.5-2%

  5. 2-3%

    I have recently been working on a site that launched about two months ago. so far, traffic has been building steadily but CTR has been going in the opposite direction.

    I've read a lot about ad placement, optimization, etc and feel like the ad layout should be pretty good. take a look here:
    [link]http://studentpulse.com/articles/91/dietary-and-lifestyle-interventions-to-support-functional-hypothyroidism[/link]

    This is the same format all articles take. But, CTR has been awfule, averaging .46% over two months and .34% over the last month.

    I feel this is really pitiful!! Any help or suggestions at all would be appreciated.

    your CTR is 46%?? and now 34% ? you call that is not good ? i don't think you can have that CTR,maybe you mean 3,4% .because 34 is more then wonderul .anyway,3,4 is not good,but not very bad also.i have 2% so..

    i think you misread my post...

    .34% -- note the decimal before the three!
