  • Its average and its good, If you get more than 10-15% then it could be a problem since getting that many clicks from average viewers is not easy.

    So you are safe and doing good better no change the ad placement.

    • Even if natural CTR 20-25 is okay. Google is smart enough to detect fake and real visitors. Make sure you are not doing anything. there's no such average ctr thing.
  • Anything below 10% is good.

  • WTF are the two of you talking about?

    Getting more than 10-15% is a problem? Anything below 10% is good?

    You know the idea is to get as many clicks as possible, right?

    • So what do you expect a good CTR for a blog? Keep in mind I am considering clicks over Adsense ads and not affiliate links here.

  • Text links have much better CTR's compared to images. No idea what the average is, too many factors to consider.
  • Usually CTR refers to the number of times users click on the advertising on your blog divided by the page impressions. Can we see the CTR in Google Search Console?
  • Hello Everybody,

    Let me clear again.

    I was talking about the traffic (CTR) from the google search result page that my blog is getting now. So which one is good, below 10% or above 10%?

    Thanks

    • In that case, your question is already been answered.
    • There is no correct answer. Your CTR as shown in search console is going to vary based on your rankings.

      If a specific keyword is ranking #1, you will likely get 40% or more CTR for that search.

      Another keyword ranking #25 will see less than 0.5% CTR.

      It's just not a good number to focus on as a whole. You want to look at CTR's for specific searches and look at them in relation to your rankings.

  • Focus NOT on numbers and focus 100% on creating helpful content for your readers, and on befriending bloggers in your niche. All metrics grow for generous, compassionate bloggers focused on the process.

    • Ignore this crap. If you are trying to run a business, you absolutely should be focused on numbers.

  • the question in that form makes no sense. ctr depends on the position for a certain search phrase and how good looking the results of your competitors for that search phrase are. for position 1 to 3 a ctr of 5% is terrible, while it is not bad for position 12.
  • most of the people are wrong...
    everything above 5% is bad and not effective means you should do something to improve it

    I mean its not bad but as I teach my clients there is always something to imrove!

  • As Mike said, the idea is to get more clicks, a higher click rate. As you cleared up that you are talking about your organic CTR, we are all on the same page.

    Now is 5% or any other number good or bad? My answer is that it is neither good nor bad because we don't have context. It's a Schrodinger's cat problem, it's neither dead nor alive.You don't know what competitors' CTR is and without that information, we just can't tell you.



    You can compare that CTR to your own previous CTRs but that's about it. If your CTR was 3% before a change you made and now it's 5%, that's good. Another context is the ranking of your link. We all know that the higher on the page you are, the higher the CTR. For all we know, your immediate competitors around your position are getting 12% and that is bad because you are losing out to them, but you just don't know. Conversely, they may be getting 2% and you are doing better than them, but again, you don't know.
  • Anything over 2% is average.

  • Well... some of the answers are laughable to be honest. So now people have an average for CTR? Interesting.
  • The average click-through rate on Ad Words paid search ads is about 2%.

    • And that amazing statistic is based on ONE paid ad!!!

      Correction: I guess to have an average you must have at least TWO paid ads.

      The whole world should know this... No matter what you are advertising, no matter what your copy is, no matter when you run your ads, no matter how you A/B test, no matter how you filter and target, no matter what your competition is doing - expect an average of 2%.

  • AverageCTR (or ordinary dynamic clicking factor) is the extent of advancement snaps to impressions in your AdWords campaigns. While crucial CTR measures the rate of snaps on each advancement, ordinary CTR learns the proportion of snaps versus impressions over your fight, or for each individual Keywords.
