Hi all,

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but what would be regarded as
a reasonable CTR% when using adsense ?

Would you be happy with 5%, 10%, or would you be looking
for a higher % click through rate ?

At the moment, mine's around [Deleted. Admin.] - is this ok or not ?

Thanks

John Rolling Eyes

The answer is - and you already suspected it - that depends upon a lot of factors.

I know publishers who would leap for joy with [Deleted. Admin.] CTR - on many of my sites I would think that was a slow day. Much of it depends upon the niche your site covers, the size of the site, how good is the content, how competitive the market, etc..

Without a lot more details there just isn't a way to give you a better answer - sorry.

you can not go over [Deleted. Admin.] without using aggresive placements and
more units on the same page.

on sites where I try not to push ads in front of users, I get at most [Deleted. Admin.],

[Deleted. Admin.] - I think this only can happne by chance or if you really know how
to trick the users

Just a reminder everyone...

Discussing AdSense click-through rates is against the Terms of Service which you agreed to when you joined AdSense.

Yes, I know it seems ridiculous. Don't blame me. I didn't write the agreement - I just don't want to be thrown out of AdSense.

Anyway, in my experience, the details I deleted were wrong. On some sites you can achieve very good click-through rates by placing the ads prominently and creating very simple pages to ensure the ads are seen. No tricks are needed.
