Am I getting Click Bombed - very high CTR.

    Hey guys, so I have two sites up that use the same Adsense channels, and I've noticed the past week or two, my CTR has been around double digits every day. I'm gonna split the two into different channels later today, but I was wondering, can you guys take a look at my site and see if there is anything against Adsense TOS. I'm just worried that they will find a reason to shut down my account because of this. I've already emailed them saying I have an unusually high CTR recently, and asked them if they could provide information about whether all the clicks were coming from the same IP. Let me know if you guys see anything out of the TOS for my sites:

    none of those websites are working for me. But judging from the domain name. Maybe people are looking for payday loans because of the bad economy, thus the increase in CTR?

    They do not work for me either. I'd be curious on the placement. Certain placements can really blend in with content well, or look like a real menu, causing high CTR. But I cant see...

    woops, wrong sites..I am changing the OP. - there you go all changed. Anyways, the traffic hasn't really increased too much, the sites are only 2-3 weeks old, so maybe 30-60 uniques a day. But CTR is around 20% or so, definitely double digits every day for the past week or two. I just don't want google to red flag me or anything.

    He just said it was 20% and if he could lower it himself, you doubt he'd come on here and ask?

    That will be good enough if you already email to adsnse team. Just wondering what is your traffic, if your traffic is less than 100 per day and your ads placement is good, then it is posible to get 20% natural click

    Submit this form, and Adsense will take your site into careful monitoring; if you have natural clicks then it's all good :)

    If your been bombed, Google won't flag you because you've filed a report anyways. (Just keep a record of it, cos knowing Google anything's possible)

    If Google found that your site is an autoblog then you will be banned. I have checked your site and it is using CC to scrape contents from other sources.
