Mine is 0.19% ... That is an ugly percentage. I'm sure there are people doing better than this. I think it is so low because I get a lot of stumble traffic, and that != targeted traffic. Anyways, what is everyone else getting so far this month?
my CTR rates are down, I presume it's because of the prevalence of Ad Blockers - everyday more and more users discover them and some browsers in-built with them so it's going to get a lot trickier to make money through advertising alone.
Hmm... True, but I would assume that the people that install the ad blocker extensions would generally not click on the ads anyway.
Im doing worse, 0.13%, think im just gonna start selling advertising on my main site as adsense seems to be a waste of time...
Since this is against TOS to display this information I gave rought estimates for just one of my sites. Impressions: Around 5 million CTR: %0.10 ballpark Clicks: 4,000+
I average 4-6K impressions daily, it's the arcade niche though so hitting around $3 daily on average. I wish I had spent the time I have on my arcade on a higher paying niche!
All the higher paying niches are boring as hell though. Anyway, I'm only getting around 100-200 impressions. and my CTR is about .2%, lol. = Not much money Can't quit my job yet anyhow, lol
Atm my website is around 6% CTR, but I because of indexing troubles I i have a very low visitor count. I am not a happy guy atm
My top site is still at its constant 7-8% CTR. My AdSense optimized site is at a constant 15% CTR. No real changes here. As for some of my other hobby sites that I just slapped AdSense on, I don't really pay attention to them but I see CTR fluctuates between 2-9% on those [Average]. My lowest CTR ATM is 0.45% on an AdSense channel I wasn't expecting to do well. I'm most likely going to remove that altogether.
How do you do that? I thought mine were optimized! Would you be so kind to take a look at my site (first sig link) and let me know how I could improve mine? Or maybe just share some of your secrets on getting a better CTR?
I swear by image ads, skyscraper on the left or right of the content. I've never had high CTR with text ads so maybe you could try image only ads for a week or two..
