I have to admit I thought I was good at AdSense ad placement already and have been selling AdSense templates (mainly for WordPress) for about 8 months, I get a lot of practice placing AdSense ad units and see the CTR from a lot of websites.
When you believe you know everything there is to know about a subject you’ve already made a serious mistake, so I’m always open to learning I’ve made a mistake.
Thought I had a Good AdSense CTR
I use AdSense on a lot of sites and over them all my CTR was around 1.7% for May 2008. An AdSense CTR of 1.7% isn’t particularly high, but this includes sites in niches that are just not going to result in a great deal of clicks (like Classic Literature, CTR below 1%!).
