    Is a 1.9% CTR for a picture gallery too low?

    I've just did some maths and it seems my average CTR for february was 1.9%

    Is that just too low or do you guys consider it normal?

    PS: I had never calculated this before..
    I'm just a newbie.

    2% is actually average, as shitty as that number is. I've seen as high as 10%, maybe a little higher.

        Your fucking galleries suck ass whole if it takes 50 people to hit it to have one go to sponsor.

        Im doing 7% and its fair enough.

          seems average, for everyone who says he has 6%, there is someone with 0.5%

            depends fully on how aggressively you push the ads, whether the content is of quality, and of course on the quality of the traffic.

            I've had numbers as high as 13%, and as low as 0.6% (!) over the years.

                  here we go again 2% says nothing. What ratio(1st page) do you have with 2% CTR?
                  One example: Lets say I have 1:800 uniques with 8% CTR, in this case, you should have 1:200 with 2% CTR to make the same money.
                  What matters is --> gallery visitors/sales

                    still if your ratio from gallery to paysite is small you arent going to see much sales.

                      revenue per 1k impressions is the only thing that matters

                              Yea. From the last page huh?
                              Start out with 1000 surfers.

                              500 go to your main page

                              200 leave after the galleries

                              %30 of 300 isnt bad.

                                Let's see some galleries.Maybe there's a reason that you can fix.

                                    Remeber part of it is how you qualify them.

                                    More free porn here - higher ctr
                                    $4.95 3 day trial - lower ctr

                                    But which one converts better?
