Too high a CTR!

[crystak]

Because on my site I am simply using the text referal link for a pay per lead programme (not the whole HTML/ javascript provided), my CTR is very high (60%) as it's simply the referal link. Would this look suspicious ?

The earnings from this link don't appear in the "Performance Reports » Best Performing Links" section either, is this ok ? I don't really mind them not being there as long as I get paid :p.

P.S. the referal link goes through tinyurl that's why I can't show the HTML provided.

You should be fine. I do not see any problem

Yeah I do not see any crime in this, all the better for you.

Merchants generally ignore CTR, because very often it's wrong. If you don't include the impression tracking pixel on most pages (search affiliates, coupon sites, etc...), the CTR will be sky high if there was just a single impression but thousands of clicks.

Yeah, I do the same thing and have wondered this, not a problem yet. Very high ctr!!

Most of my clicks are derived from ebay flexible destination links which have no impression tracking. So I regularly have 200 impressions a day on 7000 clicks. My CTR is usually over 1,000% unless I'm pulling banners from CJ to test out a new merchant.

Nothing to worry about at all.

ya. don't worry about your cj ctr, as long as you aren't violating the tos (which you clearly are not) then you will be cool beans.
