Has Anyone Noticed Any Unusual Increase In Page CTR?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Nusaint, Apr 4, 2013.

    I own multiple sites that I run adsense on. I have been a publisher for a few years now and I have enjoyed success with adsense.

    The last few days I have seen an increase in my CTR, it has gone as high as 60%!. I have evaluated the traffic and I have not had any burst of traffic, my sources remain the same, infact the only think that has changed is my click rate.
    Has anyone else had this?

    I have read here that google bans when you have high CTRs.
    Please advise?

    Likewise, in fact mine went up to 13% yesterday. Seems quite odd.

    most of the account is facing unusual activity with high number of clicks from Germany and US. Looks like adsense is attacked.

    Yes. Most of my clicks are from USA too. I am tracking traffic and click stats but cannot find anything unusual.

    Yes, around 30% up for the last few days.

    Easter holidays perhaps, people sitting around bored?

    Yeah so true. If you have high CTR, risk for banned by Google very large. Several years ago, I get CTR 33%, then Google Adsense banned my account a few days later. I am very sad and disappointed, because I did appeal was also rejected.

    At the beginning of 2013 I made ​​a new account. I began to be careful and always check on my Google Adsense account. But on February 11, 2013 I get my highest CTR about 14%. I was scared and anxious, after that I remove Google Adsense ads on my website which make CTR through 14%. Then I optimize that website until have a lot of visitors, then I put Google AdSense ads again.

    I'm facing the same now. Up to 60% on some sites. I messaged adsense and await response. Clicks are from US and tablets and high end mobile devices.

    Did anyone here have an outcome from google? Were you banned etc?

    If your visitors are coming from Google search engine then there is no need to worry of CTR, you are safe.
