    hi, this stuff is still round in my head as thousands questions.

    some people said that high CTR in our account, that will make our account banned.
    is that true or not ?
    some say in DP the more high CTR we get, the good for the account.

    ok now im confused :p

    anyway, traffic from PTC its not safe for adsense right ?

    thanks ^

    From what I understand, a typical click through rate is usually less than 6% - definitely less than 10%. It's certainly possible to have a higher CTR than that, but the higher the CTR the more likely it is that you are getting invalid clicks. Considering that most people ignore the Adsense ads, if you have half of your visitors clicking an ad (50% CTR), then there is something unusual going on.

    Note that some people who have high CTRs got that way by using tricky formatting of the ads - either to make them look like content or to make it likely that people will click on the ads accidentally. Since that's against the Adsense ToS, it will get your account disabled.

    Ok let's break the myth here.

    High CTR will most definitely not get you banned.

    What gets you banned is using shady methods (anything that is against Google's T&C) to achieve your high CTR. Having said, an extremely high CTR is a sure way to get your site reviewed by a person in Adsense fraud team - however, if your site is 100% legit and you're not in breach of any terms then you're safe.
