    Be careful about discussing your ratios and stuff like that. I have more impressions then you and less clicks.  A CTR of about 1-3% is normal

    I snipped the numbers from the original post, disclosin your click-through rate.  We don't want you to get your AdSense account banned!

      It's fine to talk about what a good click-through rate might be hypothetically.  Just don't tell us yours. wink

      Well, if you go around quoting CTR figures, that's what happens.

    Out of curiosity, why aren't we meant to talk about our click-through rates? I know it's a rule, but why is it a rule?

      Because it says so in the Google AdSense TOS.  You'll have to contact them for a more in-depth answer.

    It's to help stop people artificially creating markets, according to a google press release years back.

    My click through rates vary, but since I make most of my money off of amazon, it is the sales rates which interest me.

      Are we allowed to discuss a good Amazon CTR or conversion rate? I don't recall anything in the TOS about it and tried looking but didn't see anything specific.
