Hey i have just put a blog. www.computersniche.blogspot.com. I have placed adsense in it. My friends have clicked some of the ads in it. Not intentionally but naturally. I have 13$ in my account for the past last week. My PAGE CTR is 9%. One of my freinds said that this should be less than 5%. Else adsense account will be banned. Is this true. And i dont make any intentional steps to click the ads in it. My friends and neighbours visit my blog for my articles and they click. so will my account be banned? What should i do to carry over my blog income without any hurdle?? please help me in this. Thanks...
there's a clicking pattern, fake user follow and normal user and u get flagged but the algo and ip address come from people who do that more often, it will, i dont CTR is an issue
After learning through some of the aspects, i have told my freinds not to click any ads and just to view to if they need any information. So they have stopped clicking it. Now my page CTR is below 5% and i think that i am safe now. Will this work? Please clarify my doubt in this CTR. Thanks for your help.
It is good it has stopped now, you may be ok, but mabye not. Google have a habit of only banning you when you request payment.
who says that google will ban you if your ctr is more than 5% ? come on..i know people who has always more than 5% even more than 10%..for a long time
one of the ichkoguy's friend says so. nobody else in the thread has said such a thing. the problem is not the ctr it's his friends having clicked and clicked again. i can smell terminated account.
