    IMHO, CTR can largely be determined on three main factors:
    1) Demographic of visitors
    2) Source of visitors
    3) How much you are willing to annoy your visitors (with adsense).

    I am adsense begginer but before I made my site (www.croatia-vacations.com) for adsense i did read a lot of post about it on this forum. I think my site is well optimized for adsense.
    Site is still new so i don't have much traffic on but once I start getting more [trafic on the site I hope it will have good CTR.

    If you have a new site you shouldn't even focus on CTR. Focus on traffic.

    Sites that get high traffic will outperform sites that get a high CTR any day and everyday.

    There is wisdom in Sir Tom's post. In my opinion - you could have the highest CTR in the world, but if your ads aren't converting... you may be putting yourself in a position to be "smart priced".

    That's not to say that you shouldn't strive for a high CTR - but perhaps fine tuning to find the CTR at which you earn the most on a CPM basis.

    I have just checked my CTR but it is not in accordance with TOS to disclose it.

    SO many cookie cutter sites abound on the net, all built with adsense in mind.
    Then the many programs you can buy that will make sites and pages, all with adsense first.
    Then so many people want adsense first, then content...what is up with that?
    Read the many posts here in this forum.
    People post that they want to have adsense on their sites, but have no sites, just want information or guidance on where to put adsense, what type of adsense formats, what are the high paying keywords I can use, etc etc etc
    Seems too many people are obsessed with adsense!
    Just build a nice site with good content, get traffic, then think about adding adsense.
    I see so many new sites in the review section that are just spammy full of adsense.

    Traffic first, Traffic second, Traffic third.....to Traffic last.
    You can have the best looking site on the net, with great adsense placement and ads, and NOT MAKE A DIME!
    All because you want adsense, and not going for the traffic.

    Google can help a lot by not allowing any sites having less than a certain amount of traffic to display adsense.
    Wow....great idea there! Think of the number of spammy sites, cookie cutter sites, blogs, etc that overnight would have no adsense shown!

    to complement dawg's post, take a look at my sig site. i'm proud of it because i built it out of love (not finished, a testimonial that it isn't an MFA site). the front page don't even have ads.

    when i applied for adsense it was for pure fun to be put on my personal blog.

    All very well not letting sites display adsense, but some people genuinely build a site leave it circulating and still get little traffic at least a little money through adsense helps with hosting costs if needed not everyones in it for serious money, granted a lot are

    my sig site munkies has little traffic but is pure content not copied , but as yet very little traffic

    4) page design(see eyetracking, for instance)
    5) how effectively your advertisers word their ads
    6) new advertisers in your sector can drastically increase the ctr
