It all depends on your ad and how much you’re willing to spend. Google doesn’t release CT% so I understand why you’re not finding solid numbers.
Early this year I ran a test for my spirulina supplement site http://www.xSpirulina.com. I found that it didn’t matter if I was in poisition #1 or position #6, my CT% was right around 6.3%. I had some ads that weren’t worded as well as the others (I didn’t know it at the time though) and my CT% was as low as 2.5%. However, the #6 position cost me 50% of the #1 position.
Further, I found that when I mentioned the price of my product in the ad my conversion percentage (the one you REALLY want to be high) jumped by 40% from 5% to 7+%.
Good luck!

Did you add the Google analyctics code to your site? Google is very accurate.

I’ve gotten some words as high as 20% i think but its got to be very low comp or a very good ad. if optimized right almost anyword can get 3-5% is my guess. if words don’t get impressions I delete and find new ones.
