  • basically CTR is most likely nothing to do with other sites. Perhaps your traffic are starting to have banner blindness... try to change the text link color, ad size, location and etc. It will help on CTR again =D
  • xylement,

    I have also same problem. Let me try with your given suggestion. I hope it will work for me.
    Thanks.
  • For me it is going on the same for the last 6 months my blog CTR is between 3 to 4. No changes occurred as of now.
  • For me, august is always a terrible month for any kind of profit. I'm not sure if that's just my niches, or what, but it's been a theme over the last three years for me, and it was that way in my ebay business back in the day as well.

    • Yeah, this month has been really slow compared to last month or earlier months. I suspect that it is because of summer vacation being almost over and students (and adults too) getting in there last good times off the internet, before getting back to the same old grind in September.


  • Mine's been pretty steady as well.
  • Jenny, do you use the template on all your blogs like the one in your signature ? Is that how you get 3 to 4 CTR ? I get about 1.5 CTR every month on my blogs.

    Where did you get that template ? Thanks....

    • You can check the template name in the bottom of the blog. I am doing lot of SEO for the blog. Submitted 15 articles in various websites and directory, social bookmarking too.

  • Mine has been steady, and actually I've been seeing a boost since HubPages moved me to a sub-domain... all my articles started ranking better literally over night, causing me to get more clicks.

    It's probably just your niche.

  • My CTR is 1.5 - 2% and my account is good standing
  • Mine is pretty steady (averaged over time at around 5%)
    However I do have dips down to as low as 1% on some days.

    I guess it just depends on the traffic and intent.
  • CTR can depend on a lot of factors like the specific niche, traffic source, and site design/layout just to name a few of the big ones.

    I have one site that is not designed for adsense and is primarily monetized a different way that has less than .1% CTR as well as a different site in a completely different niche that is over 10%. Plus others anywhere inbetween.

    As far as August being worse than July - most of my sites are actually doing better in both CTR and total number of visits.
  • Mine has been steady across all sites - earnings have went up significantly (primarily due to the addition of a couple new sites I'm working on). My average CTR across all of my sites is anywhere from 12 to 18 percent, though.

    Like others have said, your niche is definitely one of those determining CTR factors. Try to put together quality content that will help trigger relevant ads, which can help your CTR shoot up considerably.

  • Mine is holding steady. Do you have the option for personalized ads turned on or off? I have very, very specific niches, so I turned them off, and my CTR went up a couple of points a couple of months ago.

    Ask yourself how specific your niches are, and maybe give that a try.
