Am I being clickbombed?

    I recently have been getting these really high CTR clicks on ads, with very little page impressions.
    Ex: Today 9 Page Impressions -- 4 clicks -- 44.44% CTR -- .46 earnings (on blogspot, so blogspot takes part of earnings)

    Yesterday 7 Page Impressions --3 Clicks -- 42.86% CTR -- .05 earnings

    Does this look like a click bombing? Or I just place my ads really well?

    It's very difficult to response with only two days.

    I think you should:
    1. To send an email for google support explaining situation and asking information about what you should do - it can avoid you be banned;
    2. To observe other two or three days. If possible, track each page and create other pages, in order to compare new page stats with old page stats.

    Email google explaining before you get banned, just to be sure.

    That is too impressive of a CTR. Try to contact the Google adsense support and inform them of the unusually high CTR and that if they can help check who is clicking them and if its legit jsut so can protect yourself from getter your account disabled.

    Thanks

    if you find any suspicious activity, then you can report it to Google.

    if those traffic are from search engine and natural click, it shall be OK since the impression is so less.

    Give us link to that page. It also happens when those ads are the only outlink on the page. What I mean is you might be having just some text and Google ads on it, so the visitors find no other option but to click the ad.

    Help yourself Before asking GOOGle :)

    I see violation on two of your blogs in your sig

    http://playpacmannow.blogspot.com/
    http://unblockfriendster.blogspot.com/ - in both these cases, you're hiding Ads by Google either partially or completely. This is against Adsense Terms.
