    Hi,
    I made a page 3 days ago, and i got 60% CTR , and i earned more than $100 in one day from about 2000 - 3000 impressions.
    Do you think i will be banned.
    The traffic came from a normal link, no "bought traffic".
    When i came home and saw the stats and removed the page. (i can put it up again whenever i want).
    I didn't suggest visitors to click the ads, i just made one experiment (which i can not explain here :) ), but i don't think that visitors were really interested in ads.

    Its not against the TOS to have a high ctr so you can safely put the site back you again.

    Yes i know that it isn't against the the rules to have a high ctr , but as i said visitors where not really interested in ads, i have tricked them to click (without telling them to do so i have just used my imagination and the common psychology).
    I guess it is easy to find out that. For example google could display some totally different ads and visitors would still click on them although these ads are not matching the content.

    Sounds like you were doing something shady. I'd email Google and make sure you're alright. Just make sure you're honest.

    You get everything from 0.1% on community sites and forums to 60-70% on MFA sites. There is not a common %, it depends on your site.

    I send you PM, please tell me, maybe what you are doing is not against the TOS ?

    If google suspect something they WILL shut you down.

    just as long as they don't suspect...

    Don't worry, I have been getting 40%-57% CTR for over a year now. I use the same method to get them to click without actually telling them to.

    If the click throughs are legitimate then don't email google. There is no reason to. You seem a bit nervous by your posts, but unlike the others im not jumping to any conclusions. If worst comes to worse and you do get banned i will contact them for you.

    don't mislead people they might complain to google and then you'll get banned. Then again at that rate one day a month might not get found for ages
