Help my CTR is 154%

Discussion in 'Reporting & Stats' started by Abu_Ali, Aug 6, 2007.

    I just checked my adsens account and I found out that in only one hour I got about 37 clicks with a CTR 154%, which is not usual at all.

    Should I report about it?

    Nonsense. It's not unusual to have a large CTR for a small number of impressions. As the number of impressions increases, the CTR will probably decrease.

    154% is not just a high CTR. If it is out of the normal... ALWAYS report it.

    That is click fraud.

    Contact the adsense team, If you are banned you can refer to your support ticket as evidence that your were not behind invalid clicks.

    Thank you all for your replies,
    I contacted them and got a reply today morning, I think this email is the usual response from them in such cases.

    They told me that they noted my input, and they'll continue to monitor the
    situation closely, and told me that reports on impressions and
    clicks are usually updated every 15-30 minutes, but occasionally there may
    be a delay of 24 hours or more before your reports are fully updated.

    and they may adjust my payment for any days during which invalid clicks occurred.

    I'm still worry, especially that I'm waiting for a good check suppose be issued this month, and I don't know if my situation is good or not!!

    Yep, that does seem like a click attack.
