What would you consider a good CRT on your sites, AdSense / YPN etc, a "realistic" good, something you would be happy with.

It's sometimes hard to find info about CTR etc due to AdSense rules. But I believe it's okay to post CTR values as long as you don't post related earnings and Cpm values.

Im normally happy with about 4-5% CTR on most of my sites, although one of my sites often gets about 10-12%, which I think is very good

Thanks for your input, I know most people spend a long time working out ad placements, blending etc to get the most out of their CTR.

If you take google's page impressions versus number of clicks, I regularly get around 1-2% non a low traffic website; however, if you only look at the number of unique visitors versus my clicks, I ahve a rediculously high 15% CTR.

So, it all depends.

Thanks for the reply, your right it does depend, I might work out my CTR regarding unique visitors.

Im mostly curious about the CTR that AdSense states.

I get about a 8%-9% CTR with a smaller traffic website.

I think anywhere between 5-15 is decent.

I currently have a 0.48% CTR.

Fortunately, I will redesign my biggest earning site soon and it will go up.

When I look at it now, I think it's a miracle that I make money with this one...

When you get so many visitors... I think around 0.5 to 1.0 CTR is amazing

Yeah, I know, but I also know that I can make a little bit more. Again, it's about 15 000 unique per month. I should improve my CTR a bit.

I have a low traffic site, so my CTR is bound to be higer from a couple of click
