What is CTR in google adsense?
I was asked the following question this morning by an adsense publisher and I thought some of you might also find it useful so I am sharing it here.
Question: What’s CTR and how do I read it?
CTR stands for clickthrough rate, and in the simplest form, it is the number of clicks an ad receives divided by the number of times the ad, ad unit, or page is viewed. In other words, it is the percentage of how many clicks an ad received (based on how many views it received).
Therefore, the higher the CTR is, the better the performance is (ie: a larger number of clicks an ad/ad unit receives).

I recently added an Adsense square ads on my travel blog. my adsense earning is still low since i dont have large volume of internet traffic yet.
`
I recently signed up for adsense for my clients website using http://flib.in technology. I was wondering what CTR was and this short definition explained things neatly and very nice.
Good work!!
i am really very thankful that Google launched the Adsense program. this enables most of us who owns several websites to work at home.
Thanks for the explanation on CTR in Google adsense, now i know exactly what it is. Keep up the good work dude…
Finally I understand what that CTR means, great post you got here!
Thank you for your help!
thnx freind for such an explanation…is it true if CTR will be more google will pay more..?
Thanks for the info on what CTR is, and how to calculate it. Is there any rule of thumb for what a good CTR would be? Most of the CTRs I’ve seen with my clients are less than one percent, which obviously seems kind of low. Any feedback would be appreciated.
What is the average CTR for google adsense? Any idea?
Happy to get approved with my adsense but my ctr is so low maybe because some ads are not related to my site
Nice explanation.its interesting for new users like me.
different categories
nice explanation :)
i also read the “pro blogger”’s explanation.. he said that the higher CTR the more clicks needed for you to be close to cashout of $100
today i got 7% CTR and from 3 clicks i got $0.92 :))
i hope i will earn more this day :D
i am only earning an average of $1 day :(( i need 3 months to reach $100 :( but its alright
