I've looked into adsense, since I run it for my website, and got a general idea what most people get for CTR, and it's in the 1-3% range.  Most of the clicks are people helping out because they know it generates revenue.  I highly doubt anyone here actually clicks the ad links because they really wanted to buy a wii at wiishoponline.com!

Only ioi has the real % for vgchartz, but from my experience with AdSense (I'm paying Google a handsome amount every month for posting my ads) the click-through is a bit lower than you think, though it may depend on the site. One thing though, what you promote is fraud, click fraud, and there are companies on the other side (not all of them evil faceless corporations) who actually get hurt by this kind of behaviour. I don't think you help vgchartz when you advise the users to screw vgchartz' advertising partners.
