Too high CTR , will it harm ?

    Well i am experiencing an increase in ctr for one of my self domains whose ads i blended with site's theme , also i removed couple of ad units which i felt unnecessary.

    To my surprise my ctr has sprung up consequently from 13% --- 133% yesterday (This weeks trend) . It used to be 2-3% initially and domain is 8 months old.

    Now this high CTR is giving me jitters ! Did not employ any wrong practice just the content building with article marketing.Should i ask or inform google on dat ? (doubt they will reply)

    Well dude 13 % is ok . But 133% is too much its like everyone who visit your site is clicking your ads and some of them are clicking your ads 2 times weird . So u must tell google or it might be dangerous to your adsense account they might ban it thinking fake clicks.

    For somebody like me who has never seen CTR to go above 1%, even 13% looks too high. :D

    Although I am not sure... I think that if it happens once (or twice) it will not be a problem.
    I had a same situation:
    A website with 2 or 3 visitors a day (yeah, I know), 2 clicks per week. One day, I had only one visitor and 2 clicks: CTR 200%.
    Nothing happened, Google just paid the $0,14 (YEAH!, I know! :) .

    I maybe need to say, that I have other domains and that average CTR is about 8%, or less.

    133% is unusual & too high. First remove your ads then inform Adsense team about extremely high CTR you experienced with time frame it occurred. Try to track your visitor's IP addresses.

    Over 90% will look suspicious. But if the clicks are genuine you have nothing to worry about. If you consistantly get over 90% CTR the give the adsense team an email.

    Always keep your CTR lower to 5% or less otherwise you will get banned

    If that is the case, then I'm sorry to say but that will certainly
    harm your account. That is actually very suspicious and Adsense
    will notice and might ban you in no time. Better yet contact Adsense
    now. :)

    Your CTR can be 35% every day and you will not get banned if you don't break the rules. I have been used adsense ads on my sites for many years and I know that thing very well.

    133% CTR is definitely an alarming situation for you. Immediately inform the adsense team that you feel some suspicious activity going around with your account. I believe it shud be fine.

    ops it's too high, very risky. I never able to beyond 1.5 %, anyway what's your ad placement? I'm glad to see that :)

    Wow i have an army of loyal fans that donate money and use my site as shopping bounce and I've never got anything above 15% . 133% screams massive click fraud . If you're getting more then 100 unique visitors and you have this CTR you're toast .

    I'd just write a letter to Google telling them you're temporarily removing the ads due to hacking problems and ask them nicely to remove all your revenue for the month . Maybe just maybe they won't hit you whit the banhammer .

    So long as it's natural/legitimate it should be OK. 133% seems very very high, but Google is smart.
