AdSense for search

31 queries and no clicks?

[Delerium]

Hi,

Has this happened to anyone else? I've recently added AdSense for search this past weekend. Since then I've had 31 queries but no clicks. Is there anything I could have done wrong to break it? Or is this normal?

Thx again!

For me the average is about one click every 30-35 searches. So I would guess it's normal to have no clicks with your number of searches.

Some days it takes more than 100 searches to see a first click reported.

Some people have reported doing quite well with AdSense search, but I find on my site that it's not much used and has a low CTR when it is--which is fine, because it's set up for people to search my site. I kept it as a service to users. I used to have a free search service from Atomz, but they were going to put up their OWN AdSense ads, so I'd rather the ads be linked to my site...

Completely normal which is why many remove it since the earnings generally tend to be very low...in my experience anyway.

I would be happy with those results.. Since when someone does click I've never gotten more than a dime.

The only reason I leave it there is because I'm too lazy to remove it.

Cool. Thx all.

Same here... I couldn't see losing money and traffic at the same time when it's such an easy change :)
