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... help, i don't want my account banned... what do i do?
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...
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 BR, AdStarter
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.
You will get banned. End your life now before google does. Jk, dont worry about it, dont bother sending them an email
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
