    If I understand your question correctly, you want to know if earnings per click will be higher on a high traffic page?!

    As far as I know, your traffic does not affect what ads you are shown, or how much you will earn per click.

    Ads are served based on the content of the page, and a page dealing with high paying keywords will get higher paying ads than a page dealing with low-paying keywords, regardless of the traffic level to each of those sites.

    I compared my own hits stats against Google Reporting. If 2 ads will double your impression my google impression should be double compared to my hits stats, but its not.

    I forgot the topic on webmasterworld just lurk around the adsense section and topics like "multiple ads"

    Our adsense account shows very clearly that for the purpose of Adsense reporting, each ad unit shown will count as one impression. If going from one ad unit per page to three ad units per page, total impressions will increase, and if google always have enough ads to display, reported impressions will triple.

    they just started 1 week ago.
    in fact, you get less, at least it is just me, as sometimes, the top payer got shown the least, so the clicks will worth less.

    If this is true, then why do they worry about page impressions?

    I would also like to point out that revealing the CTR is against the Adsense TOS - so do not expect me to pepper this post is real life examples. I also explain other than AdSense, that CTR is a "Click Through Rate" - or some people think the pages with ads for those who click on them.
    Problem comparing the CTR (and in fact, a lot of AdSense statistics) is that each blog is so different that such comparisons can be difficult - and sometimes futile.
    Why Adsense CTR by comparing sites between the problem?
    The percentage of people who click on ads depends on many factors. I will list some here - and we will be able to see some ways to increase their own CTR.
