    Hi guys,

    as you know click trough rate is very important in your adsense strategic plans.
    Here I want you to share your avarage page CTR. So that we can see how your page impressions are converted to clicks.

    Thanks,

    We're not allowed to share our CTR's.
    However, anything between 3% - 15% is great in my opinion.

    Again, once you have the correct AdSense format and placement,
    your CTR will depend on your content.

    For example: If you run a make money with AdSense blog, your CTR
    will likely be really low. However, if you run a Weight Loss Blog, your CTR
    would likely be pretty high. Again, it's all based on the relation between
    your content and your advert. The more they have in common, the higher
    your CTR will be.

    As7apcool - There are no rules to a CTR that will get you banned. As long
    as you follow the rules, if you had a CTR of 57% you'd be fine. Again,
    as long as you're following the rules, you have nothing to worry about.

    By the way, why would AdSense ban someone who's obviously helping the advertisers
    by getting such high click-thrus while also following the rules? That simply just
    wouldn't make much sense to me.

    Also, in my experience, Adsense Search yields a higher CTR. In fact, mine is currently above 10%.
    but again, it's a percentage, far less people use it, but it has higher results when they do.

    I'm not happy until I get a minimum of 5% CTR, but after that yes I try not to go over 15%, before I was makin sites with 20-25% and it is too much, really, I could feel it in the site's design and so can adsense.

    I think 10% is good enough. But do you guys use Square ad formats?

    and do you get more CTR for image ads only?

    i get under 2% but ctr doesnt matter as most would think, i guess if your getting 10 cent clicks and barely traffic theres no other way but to force a higher ctr in order to make any money

    CTR is not allowed to share.

    It varies according to the niche of the site. Basic factors which affect CTR:
    1. Quality of traffic to the site.
    2. Relevancy of ads according to the keywords of title/page.
    3. Placement and size of ads. Go and check the Google 'heat map' to make this point more clear.

    Cheers
