Click through rates with any ad program,
especially AdSense, depend on the number of visitors you
have to your site. The more visitors you have, the higher
the number of visitors who are going to click through an ad.
That is just common sense.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO involves your site’s page
architecture, content, links to your site, and other
determining factors that rank your site higher with the
search engines. Things like popular keywords and key
phrases help you gain higher rank as well. By doing all of
this and learning how to optimize your site, you are going to
increase targeted traffic to your site. Increased targeted
traffic means a higher CTR for you.
Professional SEO Services
There are companies out there who will provide SEO
services to you and your site. They will optimize your
pages, build links, and get your site ranked higher in the
search engines. Prices for these services vary based upon
experience. If you’re going to hire someone to optimize
your site, check them out and ask many questions. It’s
recommended that you learn basic SEO on your own so that
you can easier spot a qualified company.
In addition to a good SEO program, there are ways you can
maximize your CTR with AdSense as well. Factors like
targeted traffic, where you put your ads on the page, how
many pages you have them on, things you have on your
page, and even the width of the ads all may affect your CTR.
Increasing your CTR rate is trial and error, with what works
for some not working for all. But there are some
techniques, as listed below, that work with almost all
AdSense webmasters.
Monitor Traffic
Just as your ads from AdSense are targeted to your
audience, the traffic you attract should be targeted to your
site. The more targeted your traffic is, the more success
you’re going to see with AdSense. Monitor your site stats
and traffic logs so you know where your traffic is coming
from and can relate that to your CTR (click through rate).
That will enable you to see what marketing that you’re doing
is working and where your focus needs to lie.
Targeted Content
Keep the content on each page of your website targeted
toward the keywords for that page. By doing this, your
AdSense ads will be better targeted to your content. If you
do not do this, you’ll find you have a lower CTR because
your ads are not as related to the content as they could be.
The site below has ads targeted to a visitor’s general
interest, but not to the page content. Visitors on that page
want to learn about tools. By optimizing keywords to reflect

knitting needles, the ads would be more targeted and
receive a higher CTR than they already are.

Quality Content
Good site content builds credibility and lends to a higher CTR
rate. Keep your visitors interested so they return. You want
them to add your URL to their favorites and come back
often. Those returning visitors will lend to a higher CTR and
increased revenue. Keep the quality content fresh too, so
they always have something new to read.
Sticky Content
Sticky content on your site and keywords related to that
content. Find the higher rated keywords and key phrases
for what your site offers and create sticky content around
those. You can include breaking articles in relation to your
33
product or service, testimonials, discussion groups, or
surveys and polls.
Give Away Free Content
If you have articles on your site, as you should, and write
them yourself, consider allowing your visitors to use those
same articles on their sites or in their e-zines. In exchange,
you just ask for a link back to your site when they publish
the article.
Offer Discounts to Newsletter Subscribers
If you have a hard time getting visitors to sign up for your
newsletter, try offering them a discount on your product or
services as an enticement. The whole purpose is to get
them to keep coming back to your site for updates;
therefore, increasing the chance that they will not only
become a customer, but click through an AdSense ad.
