    i logged in today and i see a channel having 1 page impression but 2 clicks, therefore a CTR of 200%.

    i'm not joking. i totally can't explain it...

    Calm down. You won't lose account because of that... this can be normal.

    Normal wouldn't be if you would have 100 impressions and 200 clicks. ;)

    the law of large numbers come into play in situations like this... if you have only 1 impression, it could very well be a genuine case... ;)

    :D 2 clicks from 1 impression is nothing to get banned for.

    fpriest,

    it's really easy- you usually have more than one Ad in one Ad unit. Just click 2 Ad's on your page while holding shift (to open Ad's in new window) and you'll get 200% CTR ;)

    One of my deep level pages once got 1 impression and 7 clicks...
    I do actually, quite often still get over 100% CTR on minor, minor channels.

    Yeah I get this eery now and then, always astounds me how google can have a mathematically algorithm so flawed!

    Well not technically flawed, but flawed in the eyes of many of us lamens
