Hi everyone,

I mentioned previously that my CTR (Click Through Rate) is not so good these days.

I was just wondering if other people had also seen a drop in clicks?

Cheers, Glen

Not really.
I haven't got that much data to compare with. If it differs, it's just a few clicks here and there.

But I've noticed a grow in earnings. Like, my traffic has dropped off since I got out of Google (bye bye those 100 uniques a day to one page). I just get some 40 uniques a day there but that's not that okay. But the earnings are pretty much the same as earlier.

I have got some additional websiets.


I have kinda learnt I can't manage to have a website.
Well, that's not it. But if something doesn't go as planned I first, I just seem to abandon my projects. Not a way to go.
Well, anyway, I have a few other things planned here (and some things set up even). It's soon gonna become kinda a "now or never" situation.

well there is no harm in running with a website and then stopping development to go on to a bigger and better idea. you can just leave the old site there as it might generate the odd click or two. if you can get a hosting account with unlimited domains then that is best because it won't cost you anything to keep the crap sites online...other than domain registration fees of course.

cheers, glen

On my newer sites it is not so good as I am building them up, however my older sites seem to have a lot better CTR even though they achieve little visits nowadays.

I find this too. I have a few old sites that get very little traffic but get a high click through rate. It could be that the websites are so bad that people just HAVE TO LEAVE! and they see the adsense as a valid "exit path".

Could be a valid excuse I guess

I have found that my CTR shows a steady pattern on my established sites that just use generic search engine traffic.......during launch this is a different situation though as it spikes like hell.
