I get 100% (yes 100%) CTR on my websites. Every single visitor that lands on my website clicks through to the merchant site.

How? By making my site as "clean" as possible. No clutter, no distractions, minimal content and very clear call to actions.

This is how I set up my sites.

I always have a plain white background for each of my pages.

I have two blue bolded links to the merchant site with a clear call to action to "click here to visit .....". One link above the fold, another below the fold at the end of the content.

I don't go overboard on content, 4 or 5 paragraphs maximum.

I keep images to 1 per page (always at top left).

I make sure all my pages load instantly.

I never use Adsense or banner ads or have any other distractions that could cause visitors to click anywhere other than the links to the merchant site.

And of course all my pages are highly relevant to what the searcher is looking for (very important)

    Appreciate the share. I think this ties in with the "why do ugly sites do so well" with adsense discussions. Simple and direct.

    I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone get a 100% CTR (consistently), but hey If you go bare bones on the page/theme I suppose anythings possible.

    I've preached about the confusion on this forum when it comes to simple pages, I get the feeling nobody wants to hear things like that, but hey, to each his own.

    It's a fact that simple pages boost CTR, I've seen it on my own pages (never 100%, lol).

    Like I said my pages are already simple looking, most here would probably freak out & call them ugly. I don't care, it pays the bills.

    The way I see it, I'm not trying to win a web designer award with my sites/pages, I'm in it to make money.

    Over the years I've tested awesome looking themes all the way down to very simple themes, the simple themes always had a better CTR, at least for my sites/traffic.

    A good example of a simple page is Google SERPs, very simple pages. You ever notice that Google never strays too far away from those simple SERP pages, there's a reason ($$).

      100% CTR that is amazing achievement. Well done. That sure would be interesting to see what you have done to get that sort of CTR. You probably do not want to post your url but maybe some screenshots. All the sites with really high CTR I have seen have been is serious violation of Google terms and conditions. I am sure it is not the case with you, I am just really curious what you have done.
