I am running an adsense campaign for different keywords in attempts to get sales and see what my conversion rate it. I have written an ebook in the fitness niche and would like to have it be sold on clickbank ultimately. I have found two keywords that I am seeing about 4% click through. Would this be considered good?

    Anything above 2.5% CTR for adsense is really good, imo.

      Agreed. Anything above 2.5% is great. Of course little tweaks can help but then you have to decide how much do you want to tweak a site or article before you move on to the next one.

      Good job, bud!

    One of my adsense ads on a certain keyword is now over 6%. I realize this is good but when I look at my google analytics is says there is a 100% bounce rate. Why/how is that?

      I think that's because they aren't visiting any other articles on your site.

      In other words, they arrive on your page and then the next click they make takes them away from your site, whether it be AdSense links, the back button, etc.

      So if they clicked on your "About Me" link, then you wouldn't have a 100% bounce rate.

    That makes sense. I am selling an ebook and my website is only one page, so I would assume my bounce rate would always be 100%

    Be careful. One page websites usually aren't the kinds of sites Google likes. It would be good to add a Disclaimer, Privacy, About Us, and Contact Us page, even if only at the footer.
