Google Adverts Performance The average CTR is still 0.3 – 0.4% but it is totally dependent on the site and the targeting of the campaign

Click-through rates for banner ads have fallen over time. When banner ads first started to appear, it was not uncommon to have rates above five percent. They have fallen since then, currently averaging closer to 0.2 or 0.3 percent. In most cases, a 2% click-through rate would be considered very successful, though the exact number is hotly debated and would vary depending on the situation. The average click-through rate of 3% in the 1990s declined to 2.4%-0.4% by 2002

AnnexIn Video AdsThe InVideo static image (overlay) template

These ads appear within streaming premium partner and user video content on YouTube, or across the Google Display Network. There are two versions of the overlay: a static image, and an interactive Flash overlay. The static image format is available using an Ad gallery Video category. The Flash overlay format is available for a limited number of advertisers.

How it works

Ads appear within an online video stream based on when the video publisher chooses to begin displaying the ad. The ad appears within the bottom 20% of the video stream's play space. Only one ad will appear in this space during each video stream.

Ads are collapsible, so that a viewer can hide or show the ad while they watch the video. The ad will also automatically minimise after several seconds.

Depending on the ad format, a viewer can click on the overlay to initiate one of the following: a video ad within the video player, an interactive Flash ad within the video player (limited availability) or a new browser window featuring the ad's landing page. These ads will be labelled with the notation >Ads by Google.

TopicsTopic targeting allows your ads to be eligible to appear on any pages on the Display Network that have content related to your selected topics. As content across the web changes over time, the pages on which your ads appear can change with it. To display your ads on those pages, simply select one or more topics that you find relevant for your ads.
