Sudden increase in clicks

Ok,

I have a blog that usually hovers around the 1% CTR mark. However yesterday it jumped to 2.5% and today it is at 3.5%. I havent seen this sort of CTR since we were allowed to place images next to the google ads!.

My eCPM has gone up slightly but not by 300% like my CTR has - would you suspect invalid clicks? Do you think I have been click bombed? Has google changed anything in the last few days that could result in these clicks? Anyone else seen an upturn?

Thanks for any suggestions you send my way

Not such a great jump in CTR to be considered as invalid i think...1% to 2% it's almost the same...and so 3%.
I don't think you need to worry.

 

mine is usually 2.73%

 

But I am jumping from roughly 150 clicks a day to over 400!!! Thats quite a surge dont you think?

 

for some funny reason, visitor behavior changes from one day to another. i would not worry about going from 1% to 3%. i have a site that gets about 7% CTR on average and today so far its 0%. nothing to be worried about

 

As we speak I have just gone over 500 clicks. *concerned*

 

Ok, maybe 500 clicks are probably a bit much.
Do you have increase in traffic?
Can you check logs to see more details?
If not, just report to Adsense to be safe...

 

Have you changed anything with the ads? color? placement? have you added any new keywords to one or all of your site pages?

what is your website traffic? maybe click bombs? so that you can get banned?

 

This is not something that you should worry about . This is normal
