That's a fair question. I learned a lot here and when I have neat things happen like that, its fun showing others what's possible with adsense. I can give one tip - don't worry about CTR if your traffic is legit (ie converts in a typical percentage range). Some of my sites always have very high CTR and this has been going on two years now with no problems.
Thats exactly what I was thinking. ------------- @ OP. What are the point of these threads, unless you are going to help others to earn money. To gloat? Since I am sure you don't want to give out your URL (that's asking for trouble) why not post some screen shots - of your site - for ad placement etc. Also you could post some traffic details, etc.... Otherwise this is just another "I MADE XXX WITH ADSENSE" and I like to brag about it threads.
I'm not hating on anyone, just wondering why so many threads are started like this? I don't see a point to it - other than the obvious. I make money with adsense, but yet I haven't posted one of these threads.... and thats because there's no point to it. People know you can make money with adsense, thats the point of the program.
The point of it, for me, is that it reminds me that some people are making a living with adsense. It gives me hope, and something to shoot for. Thanks for sharing OP.
I'm not "hating" but, the impression count in this case is very important. It's definately possible to get that much with 7 clicks in a couple of niches, the problem lies in the amount of impressions you have. I'd definately like to see a valid check coming from adsense this month before I'd believe this. Even if you did do it with low impressions & high CTR, none out of ten times you'll get banned. If it's done in fair game, etc, then goof for you. However at the moment, although doesn't seem fabricated, seems like you're following a trend of the next banned google adsense member.
