Default adsense click through ratio

I'm not sure if it is against the TOS but i was wondering what's everyone's average click through ratio for adsense?

I read somewhere that it is generally @ 1%. If you're achieving 10-15% then you're doing pretty good.

My ctr for last month is 0.60 %. Not very impressive. I think that CTR also depends the niche and the topic you;re covering and the kind of audince your are targeting.

Thoughts?

I think it is against the TOS to give specifics, but I can tell you that mine is somewhere in between what you posted. LOL My fitness site has a much higher CR than my web hosting site. And my web hosting site isn't much better than yours Webdev. As you said, I believe it depends on the niche.

I always base my targets on 10%. Anything below that I start thinking if anything can be improved to increase it.

Wow Gavin, that's a very impressive bar to set. Maybe I should hire you to do my marketing.

Its easy to throw out a number no matter how high but the challenge is actually hitting it. You would laugh at my first Adsense challange.

Also, you'd be mad to hire the likes of me.
