I've recently made some changes on a few test blogs my company runs to optimize our writing and promotions training and CTR rates went from 1.5% to 10% and still climbing! Will this high disparity trigger increased review from Google? All techniques are legit, we just focused on how keywords are placed and ads "thematically flow" with the text. Should we get worried? It's a steep jump... 1.5% to 10% in less than a day. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
"placed and ads "thematically flow" with the text" You might get banned if your ads are too well blended; making sure you knew that. Good job, though! 10% CTR is awesome.
Thanks for the compliment. No, we don't blend by making the ad text appear the same as the content text. We make sure the themes are related and write the content in such a way that that it leaves the reader wanting more info and inclined to click the links.
Thanks, I was just worried more regarding the sudden jump from 1.5% to 10% (went as high as 12% this morning).
Nothing to worry about, last month I was hovering around 10% for my whole network. So far in July, im at 16%. If it's organic traffic, be happy, you'll likely be getting more per click. If you're doing something fishy to generate traffic, I'd be a little concerned.
