Was wondering what was everyone's adsense click-through rate. One of my websites has about 1% click-through rate.
Does it need improving? Do you achieve better click-through rates?

Hmm isn't it against the Google TOS to reveal CTR?
Or is that the CPM..

Either way 1% CTR is quite low, you may need to experiment with ad placement Smiling

I don't know if it is against the Google TOS to reveal it. Can you show proof???

It is definitely against the TOS.

CTRs do vary greatly. On sites I am involved with some sites have 30 times the CTR of others. Design makes a huge difference, but so does the subject matter. Our lowest CTR is a local community site - it's never going to get a high CTR as most of the traffic is on a forum.

It is not against google's tos to discuss a site's ctr. It is against tos to show all information for your site, impressions, ctr and earnings. I can't locate the section in adsense which addresses this. If I find it, I will share it with you.
