Average advertisement CTR?

[tacovaIk (CFramed)]

Hello, I was wondering what the average CTR that an ad should get is. The best performing ad that I’ve ever had performed at 8.57% CTR. Is this average, or could it be something special?

Is this for banner ads or for sponsored ads? Cause 8.57% is legit pretty high. For Banner ads I always thought getting anywhere around 2% is considered pretty solid.

That’s a visual bug, I have had that exact number before. It was 0.75% for the first few hours then spiked to that and never came down. Most people get 0.5%-1.5% CTR, so 8.5% would be impossible for the most part. (Most Google ads get 0.5% CTR, so anything above that is, I’d say, pretty good.)

I don’t think it is a visual bug, as the amount of clicks that I had, when compared to how many impressions I got, resulted is me getting 8.57.

Edit: It isn’t a visual bug. I’ve run the ad multiple times and it says that, in total, I have a 7.70% CTR.

It was for a skyscraper ad, not a banner or sponsor ad.

i’ve once had an ad perform at 11.73% CTR

but it was highly controversial and got taken down within hours with a 3 day ban for me lol.

So no, it’s probably not a visual bug like @Ty_Scripts said. (Even flamingo made a video about the ad, so thats impressive given its small bid (20K) and short run.)

What did the advertisement look like?

[Ty_Scripts (IAmTrulyGreg)]

11.73% is near impossible. I can guarantee you it was this visual bug:

Web Advertisements Showing Incorrect Click Counts

Describe the bug. Describe what is happening when the bug occurs. Describe what you would normally expect to occur. Essentially, my advertisement is getting more clicks than mathematically possible, unless someone is using bots to click it or something. See screenshots. 9:55 PM EST: [first] 9:59 PM EST: [second] 10:09 PM EST: [thired] As you can see, the impressions only increased by about 750 between 9:55 and 9:59 whereas the clicks increased by over 2’200. Between 9:59 and 10:09, ther…

That happend across 2 ads though.

Flamingo pressed on it during its 2 hour ad run.

I can guarantee it wasnt, lol

[Revlayz]

wont describe that as it was controversial and I dont want it to my name, sorry.

[tacovaIk (CFramed)]

Alright, I respect that. Have a nice day.

Yah, I would run some more tests on a separate ad and just mark this one as an outlier. Very likely a bug. I’ve had an ad showing a ridic high CTR. I think if you’re hitting 2% you’re already overachieving. If you’re hitting around 0.8% - 1% that’s considered pretty dang high.

that is very high anything above 2% is high
most of the ads I run get like 0.7-1.2% some higher some lower

so if 8.57% CTR isn’t a visual bug man good job
