What is everyones CTR so far this month?

    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.

    Yeah, if I had 5 million impressions, I think I could live with 0.10%

    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

    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.

    What ad placement are you using to get such a high CTR?

    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..
