AdSense Exports: What's a good CTR?

GCostanza · 06-28-2010, 06:01 PM

Just as the title says. What's a decent click rate for AdSense?

Edit: Title is supposed to say "experts", obviously.

Fraggler · 06-29-2010, 12:47 AM

Anything above 5% is good; higher than 10% is great.

I would say 10-20 % is pretty good. Over 20% is excellent. I have some sites that are consistantly at 40% +, some that wallow at 5%, which I will discard at renewal time. Niche, keyword and ad relevancy are all major deciders on this, the template less so IMHO. Cluttered is bad though !

You can get even greater ctr if you sort by ad group and have 2 adwords accounts. aim me.

I'm at 0.57% in June and this has been a bad month. I like to be at around 1%

If the 5%'ers (your websites which have about 5% CTR) is earning them selfes in, why discard them?

I mean... This is a common mistake IMO... The hosting costs maybe $10 per year.. And the site is earning $10 per month.. Why discard it? I mean.. At the paper your site will earn 10x the amount it costs to keep it running?

I don't know your sites - it COULD be that they are NOT earning them selfes in.. But if they are.. Then why not let them run? if the profit is $20 per year - then it's okay, as long as you don't have to keep posting content! Let it earn as much as you can.

Doesn't sound so bad when you put it like that. I have a few that site around No3 or 4 and get nil backlinks and few clicks, but the clicks I get are good earners. I guess most sites can be profitable with work, I'd just rather have 10 sites that each earn $20 a day, rather than 40 that take my time up.

You need to address this question to a specific niche market.

Some people get 22% CTR, others get 2%, same market, 2 different sites in top 5.

But as troy said:

For those guys with > 5% CTR - Well done, good work!

Do you find the Ad. Position makes much difference?

I'm bidding on position #3 at the moment for many keywords - do you find bidding for #1 is worth the money??

DrGUID · 07-01-2010, 07:30 AM

It depends on the market. Try getting good clicks in the tech-savvy market where geeks stopped clicking on AdSense ads in '04.

praveenkumar · 07-06-2010, 07:55 PM

Normally real estate market and finance market have big competition for adwords.

michealcdz · 07-06-2010, 11:54 PM

5 to 8 percent is good

It is all about the design/theme you are using for your website. Its how you structure your ads with the content. Test, Test, and Test some more.

Currently I average between 8-14% Click through rates using my own custom made theme for my niche sites.

Click through rate differs depending on the niche you are in.
