Well I have develloped a complex web game using ajax, and my question is: If a person enters my site it's considered as 1 page view, even if (s)he plays for hours and hours, it's still 1 page view. The problem with this is: I can possible archieve 100% CTR, or very very close to that, because the person will most probably sooner or later check it (because of curiosity or boredom) out after long time of playing. Will I get banned in this situation ?
I believe this would be a situation that requires an email to google adsense. Explain your concerns to them just as you did to us.
I am sure this does not violate the Google TOS, you may want to still notify them about the reason why you have such a high CTR.
It's not going to be 100% ctr.. even if your game window is surrounded by google adsense, theres many game sites like it already as well so it's clearly not breaking the TOS. But if you do get every visitor to click your ad's each and every time they come around let me know!
Not unless one of the goals of the game is to click on one of the ads "Now you must click one of the ads to your right! If you click the correct (most expensive looking) one, you will be champion of the world. Good Luck (and make sure you play again)!" You'd get pretty close to 100% with that!
I also asked google about ajax + adsense and requested allowance to refresh ads whenever content is updated. here is the reply i got: Thanks for your patience. Becky escalated your email to me. Unfortunately, sites using AJAX are not a good fit for AdSense at this time. As you mentioned, since your content is loaded without having your URL change, your ads won't be targeted toward the content on your pages. However, I've noted your interest in using AdSense with AJAX and I'll pass it on to our product specialists and engineers for future consideration. Suggestions and ideas like yours directly contribute to making AdSense better. We appreciate your perspective and hope you'll keep sharing it with us in the future. To help us better keep track of your comments, please submit any future suggestions through our online form: http://google.com/adsense_features_email.
Noticed that this is an old thread, but would like to shared our experience. In the beginning we do get >100% clickthrough. Probably due to boredom, or as a form of exit, almost every user click on ad. But how we get >100%, I have no idea. But AdSense do pay us for it - our site dont have too many user anyway, it was an email system for a small group of people. However, when we wrote to AdSense Support, they send us a similar reply (Zedzero) minus the "I'll pass it on to our product specialists and engineers for future consideration". At the end, we have change our site so that only part of the page content is AJAX (such as event list, birthday list by month, etc). The page will refresh when user click on new emails. This seems to work much better. CTR is very low but more clicks are registered.
