    Above 10% your accounts goes for a review , About 25% most rare chances to get banned also if the click are generated daily . Now you can think what will happen to 100+% account . Mail adsense teams about this before they take any action .

    If your only getting around 25 impressions a day then I could see for short periods of time having 50-100% CTR (still on the high side for legitimate clicks).

    So how many days are we talking about here?

    If it's an extended period of time and you look at the figures as a whole and you see 1,000 impressions with a CTR of 50-100% you've got someone clicking your ads fraudulently. I would say a CTR over 15% when combined with over 1,000 impressions is not all legitimate clicks, visitors are not that click happy on AdSense ads.

    That doesn't necessarily mean you are clicking your own ads, but could be someone is going to your site and getting click happy for reasons other than looking to buy products from AdWords users. That could be someone who hates you and wants to get your AdSense account banned or someone who wants to waste AdWords users credit clicking specific types of ads so as an AdWords user themselves their cost of advertising is lowered (click the competition out of the market).

    If your clicking your own ads to an extent of getting a very high CTR it's only a matter of time before your banned and from what I hear it's just before they pay out, for any of the other possibilities contact Google AdSense so they can look into it.

    Dont worry man, it is quite normal cause your impressions and visitors are low. If it was high then it surely would end you be mr. banned.

    High CTRs early in the day are not uncommon. You're dealing with such a low number of impressions that really anything can happen. If it's still at 104% at the end of the day, THEN I'm sure Google will be having a closer look. ;)

    Too late.

    The op got banned the same day he started this thread. See the thread below.

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=884983

    Now he's asking how to get his account back.

    So if anyone else thinks 104% ctr is ok this should answer the question.

    CTR should not exceed 5%. High CTR is a trigger for google to monitor adsense account and to ban the adsense account in question.

    Yes, 104% looks suspicious to Google. But if your stats show different visitors from different IPs and you play by the rules, it should be ok.

    104% CTR definitely looks suspicious..
    You better contact Adsense immediately to avoid flagging of your account.
