Let's assume the site is optimized properly for adsense. What's the lowest CTR you've heard of?

    This is a very vague question.

      Really though that question could maybe be rephrased. Adsense clicks are dependent upon where you advertise your site. how relevant the ads are,a number of different things. CTR would be based on the traffic flow of the target market. If you have a site on wart removal and the ads are on mechanical engineering....you get the idea

        Can't get any lower than 0%.

        I assume that you're trying to find out what the average CTR is and if you're close to it.

        I believe it's against the TOS to disclose your personal info, so it's hard to get straight answers to that question.

        From talking with others, Youtube CTR will be in the .30 range for adsense. I've seen blogs get into the 2-3% range with lower traffic.

        I've never heard numbers for higher traffic volume, as those people didn't care about adsense and many didn't run it. The adsense would show products that were in direct competition to what they were selling, so they took it down.

          Google does not care about CTR. They care about whether a click gets a buy.
          They even tell you up front to not worry about low a low CTR. Worry about
          whether the clicks are coming from interested parties, or just casual traffic,
          and try your hardest for interested, targeted traffic.

          Let the adwords people worry about CTR.

          If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    There are simply too many variables involved to ever accurately answer this question. Once research has been done and your site has been optimized for your reader you can usually expect anywhere from 2-8% depending on the niche.
