What is your adsense click-through rate?

  #1  
Jun 6th, 2006
Was wondering what was everyone's adsense click-through rate. One of my websites has about 1% click-through rate.
Is that good? Or do you achieve better click-through rates?

That's pretty decent. Depending upon the sections of my site and how many ads I show per page, I end up being in the 3% range. The link directory is crazy at 8%, but I think that's because it somehow sorta mimics the look of AdWords in the right sidebar on the google search results.

Yes. But keep in mind the link directory doesn't get a large number of impressions. 1 click in 10 views is 10% after all ... Not that it's that few, but compared to the rest of DaniWeb, it might as well be.

I dont really understand it though, i've only just started using it, it started at around 1% then at the weekend I got 11% and 16.5% which was very rewarding

I would be very careful if I was you. For a CTR to jump from 1% to 16.5% in a matter of a few days is a BIG red flag. Google is known to ban people from adsense on suspicions of click fraud.
If you see a big jump in CTR, you should investigate it.

Definitely agree. It might even be a good idea to email Google saying you noticed this unnatural spike and could THEY investigate it. It will make you seem less of a suspect, in their eyes.
