which themed sites get high click through rates?

Hi

i have 3 websites with adsense in different niches but get so low CTR. Anyone know any good niches that people still actually click on the ads?

 

Targeted niches have the highest CTR

 

Where is your traffic coming from? Search engine or social?

Game niche, entertainment niche normally will get higher CTR but theie CPC is very low

 

nearly all from search engines - i dont run any PPC. Get a little bit from referring sites but not much

 

may be your niche or you have alot of ads banners or low content

 

Test ad placement and colors too - it really can make a difference!

 

Along with the niches, you also need to take some efforts for traffic. Apply some SEO strategies on your site to get more traffic. SEO tends to bring targeted trafifc and in turn increased click through rate.

 

From my experience, travel and home improvements give me more traffic and revenue. It helps also if you market your blog as well.

 

The best performing sites don't generally have a niche, it all just comes to down to marketing

 

What about technology ?? I am thinking to start a site on this niche !

I hope it works well !

 

technology works well, but if you have visitors from u.s and u.k it will convert much more..

 

ya you will be lucky if you get 5 pennies per click

 

getting ok traffic for blog only 3 months old (100+ visits a day) just not many clicks -only 9 in 3 months!

 

What is your traffic source? search engine, direct traffic ... ?

If it's search engine traffic, I don't think your number of clicks is real.

 

or your ad placement must be terrible.


as for the topic, don't choose topics too technical because internet savvy users tend to click A LOT less on adsense than plain audience.

 

100 uniques a day - even if those visitors only visited 1 page of your site and you had a 3% CTR ( which is very low ) you'd be getting 3 clicks a day ( 90 a month ). In reality that should be more like 300-600 clicks a month or 900-1800 for 3 months. You say you got 9 clicks from 100 visits a day over 3 months?

I would suggest monetizing with something else other than Adsense on that site. It's clearly not working/converting for you with that site.

If you guys are interested the niche is english soccer - the ads are pretty obvious I have to say but they are appearing as relevant e.g "buy liverpool tickets2 etc. Just cant seem to get the clicks

 

Use a theme from dosh dosh and your ctr will be fine.

It's much more than the niche. It's presentation and content.

I use the EXACT same theme across a number of niches. Click through rates average 4-8% on each site on any given day.

So even if someone told you a magical niche, it's really not the niche that determines the clickthrough in and of itself as long as your content and presentation is spot on you'll get the clicks. It's all about delivering content in the ads that matches your customers intent.
