    I normally get 50-100% on some small pages and on some channels. When this happens, I get an e-boner lol :p

    probably one visitor went click crazy and clicked like 8 ads

    yes a 100% ctr is good, although it is basicaly impossible

    I don't see anything too extraordinary about it, probably two or three of them clicked more than one ad, or you had a generous visit by someone.

    They key here is that my ads are very relevant to my content.

    I have had this with one or two sites in the past, but we're only talking a few views and a few clicks per day so it's easy to get 100% CTR in those circumstances! But yes i agree if the content is very targeted and google ads are serving great ads...it's easy to get clickthroughs. It does depend i guess on the type of site and what type of visitor you're getting.

    One thing i have had which did freak me out was i had a click with no impression...god knows how that happened...whats the CTR on that?? Anyone else had that?

    I think, Google will warn you about this. If you found anything suspicious write Google Immediately

    I have had that happen a couple times before, freaked me out too :eek:

    I "think" that what happened was google simply counted the clicks quicker than it counted the impressions. After an hour or so the impressions showed up.

    As others have told you, 10 clicks is not enough to make any determination.

    I run an average CTR across 4 sites of +20%. Some individual pages average +40% with occasional daily spikes higher than that. However, early in the Adsense day when the page impressions are low, I've seen CTRs as high as 500%. This figure ALWAYS comes down as the day progresses.

    As others have said, if the clicks are legitimate, you have nothing to worry about. My stats have been as I described above for 1 year and not a peep from Google. Google knows when clicks are honest and when they aren't.

    Pretty impressive since 16 clicks from 17 visitors is only 94%.

    100% thats pretty impressive, although if it continues it begs for Google to get suspicious.

    100% CTR, WOW!!!! I don't see how that will keep going. If it does, Google will definately be suspicious!

    I personally dont think having ctr 100% is good cause if you ever make a mistake google will notice it & may lead to banning.I think ctr below 10% is safest.
