CTR way too high...

Hi yall,

well im here to ask you about a doubt that i have. I have a website where i putted adsense in ... only two boxes (big ones - one above the other - and above the content ) ... and my CTR is quite big i think : yesterday +- 16%.

Will google ... dislike me? or even ban me?

PS: yes i have content, no its not an adult website, no i dont think i am violating TOS.

 

It should be ok for a high CTR. But how come you get a 16%? Maybe your competitor clicked it?
I wish my site have a 1% CTR

 

no i just have two big boxes ( 336 x 280) over the content.

but hey here is the website: best-myspace-layouts.com

and my home page does not have any images besides my logo. just text. i guesse the blending is "good".

 

Hahahahaha, people make me laugh when they think Google is gonna ban them over high CTR

 

haha . just scared ... dont want to get banned .

love ya too .

 

16% isn't bad. I've experienced higher CTR's in the past and I've thought about mailing Google. You should be alright though.

 

I dont thinks o you are in danger of getting banmned. You have placed the ads well and they are blended to the site!! 16% though is high well done!!

 

Your CTR shouldn't be an issue unless your website is clearly MFA. By MFA, I mean that it has no other content that advertisements.

What you should be worrying about is preventing and reporting fraudulent clicks!

 

I think 16% is nice and could be considered low in some contexts.

 

I was just wondering what mine was, so I went to check. It is at an average of 1.84%, then I looked at today's, 24%. I've had 131 impressions and have already made $2.00. I've never even paid attention to CTR before, and now that I found this thread, it just so happens to be super high.

 

you need to wait and analyse the number of clicks and number of impressions. I had the same problem in the past like 120 clicks against 200 impressions on a day. I monitored few days and reported google about that.

 

well it happen sometime. If someone click more than a adlink, you will get CTR over 100%.. but thts OK

 

thank you all for your opinions... ill keep on tracking

but feel free to keep on commenting.

 

It's possible and nothing really to worry about on low number of impressions.

 

It is impossible to have a CTR greater than 100. A 100% CTR would mean every single ad you serve gets clicked. If that isn't a MFA site I don't know what is

 

As long as you don't do anything against the TOS,that's ok.Don't worry!

 

Technically, it's possible but it probably wouldn't be valid.

 

In a normal environment, how would this be possible? You cannot click an ad that doesn't have an impression and that is what would be required to have a CTR greater than 100.

 

CTR over 100% is deifintly possible - i have a few - even though low traffic which often hit 500% - but generally average at 60% ish

That layout above is working well in my opinion as the content below it looks "empty" when scrolling quickly - making the ads appear to be the best resource.

Good luck anyway
