Soon, I would like to calculate the CTR of a site that I'm building with a handful of people.

But if one page has three separate google ad boxes, will it show up as 3 impressions, when only ONE person loaded the page??

Thanks in advance...

No one??

really?

I'm sure that the adsense reports are based on page views, rather than #adsense blocks

ha ha ha 200%CTR the other day

Spoiler:

out of context - looking at just one page, that had one view, got two clicks
(2 / 1) * 100% = 200%

Mr Stich - are you planning on putting 3 different blocks on the page because you're building it with different people and are going to each have an adsense block ?

If so, I would be carefull that you don't end up getting spidered 3 times as much.  I don't know that it works that way or anything so it could be nothing, but I would check my server logs real good and see. 

It might be a better idea to rotate the AdSense client # amoung your partners.  I know a couple sites where they use more than one persons' AdSense account and thats what they do instead of display three different client blocks on the same page.

Of course if I just misunderstood what you were trying to do you can just ignore this

I have adsense on my blog so ad appears on the bottom of each post -- when viewed as the permanent URI

On the mail page,thoughh  this means several ads can be shown serval times - and my stats indicate this is seen as ONE impresson

That's what I do

hahah... no

The blocks are all mine, just three separate blocks on a single page.

When one person views that page, will google report that as ONE impression?

yes I think thats what matte was saying

nevermind then, sorry for the confusion

Hopefully this helps answer your question

A page impression is generated every time a user views a page displaying Google ads. We will count one page impression regardless of the number of ads displayed on that page. For example, if you have a page displaying three ad units and it is viewed twice, you will generate two page impressions and six ad unit impressions.
