    There is no set limit. However, if your asking, it makes us wonder what your up to. If there was a set limit, I'm sure scammers would love to consistantly hit right under it.

    The question is not against TOS, but it sure is a very dodgy question.

    not even on 500% ctr if everything is okay and nothing is against TOS of adsense.

    but 0.01% ctr can lead to ban if you violate TOS of adsense :)

    There is no CTR that Google would ban you at - simply having a high CTR is not evidence of any wrongdoing. However, a sustained high CTR is likely to cause a site to be scrutinised and in most cases banned as consistent high CTR is often achieved by use of bots etc.

    Not all cases of high CTR would result in a ban, but it shouldn't even be a question you ask... common sense sould prevail and you should look to build content and links to your site to drive organic traffic and higher serps with more diverse keywords.

    If you can drive organic traffic to a website and replicate the experience in different niche markets, then adsense would provide a good income... however, trying to cheat the system will only result in all efforts being futile in the long run.

    No use to acuse xc06 for anything, its a perfectly legitimate question. I started out with a ctr on 30% for my first adsense site and was scared as I heard that 5% is normal.

    I ask this question since my small website someday got very high ctr and I am afraid adsense would close my account. I didn't do anything to get fake clicks. :(

    I think there is no rule, because we don't have control of the CTR

    I am wondering how accurate google's algorithm is. Suppose it is 99% accurate, somebody will cry in that 1%.....

    I am not going to cry since I only earn less than 1$ a day.....:D

    You know, if you feel one day that something is very wrong (with your adsense that is: ), go ahead and write to adsense team and tell them. Better safe than sorry.

    But will high CTR will bring attention to Google and investigate your site frequently. You can't be 100 unit visit with 80 people click the adsense. I think about 10% - 30% should be reasonable, but it just my thought.

    Hi wwhhing, yes, thats just your thought : )))

    80% is resonable, it happens.

    And why should not G investigate your site frequently ? I would say thats a good thing. If they investigate your site once a month in two years and everything is fine, then the day you do something against the TOS, they will let you of the hook just for being a good boy in two years.

    There are some of the pages I have, and this are the pages with only a few visitors, it often happens that there are 60, 80, 100 and even 200 % ctr.
