    OK since Im constantly previewing my pages and making sure things are going as planed on a regular basis to my site...thats lowering my CTR because im not clicking on any ad's.

    since my CTR is definitely getting lowered, will this effect my income?

    for some reason i have a feeling each time my CTR goes down...so will my revenue..

    thanks for the help

    A few things that effect your income:
    Viewership
    CTR
    CPC

    Increase any of the three and your income goes up. Also, they all have max/min values based on your website, and they all work together.

    I dont think you viewing your site should impact your CTR unless you only have a few visitors. In which case you can use some php to display your ads on the condition its not your IP surfing the page. However i would concentrate on getting more visitors rather than not showing ads to yourself.

    thanks for the replies,

    good point, i can see what you mean tho, i average about 250 uniques/ 600 page views a day,..and by me looking through the site alot, it can definitely show a CTR reflection of my views,..

    once i build my traffice, should the CTR increase more rapidly? like what i mean is,..i shouldnt be worried about me lowering my CTR right now correct?

    Well if you have to visit your site it will increase impressions and lower your CTR, but these things make no difference to your income.

    Clicks *CPC = income

    so don't even worry about your imps/ctr

    I agree...
    I dont think it will affect your income.
    Your CTR is lowered indeed, but it just a matter of stats.
