My CTR is going crazy high, am I being click bombed?

    For the last 2 days I have been getting a very very high CTR.

    Here are my CTR's

    19.15%
    36.59%
    37.50%

    I got about, 30-40 impressions on each ad.

    Should I be worried?

    (I have never clicked my own ads.)

    My CTR also increased on my biggest sites by 60% to 100% in the last 2 days. This was in line with the massive drop in traffic on all my sites which was probably due to the Oct 13/14 Panda update. At least this helps reduce the impact on earnings. Doubt you need to be worried just yet if you have not done anything against the Adsense TOS.

    Mate, to be on the safer side, remove the codes for a week. That is the best thing suggested by some adsense guru as and when the CTR goes crazy

    Good advice - well worth a try.
    I would also write to adsense straightaway over this issue stressing that you have not clicked your ads, which it does not sound like you have.
    On the plus side the new panda update has seen my main site traffic go back up to it's summer levels which is good news!

    In the past whoever has reported it to google immediately has not had a great experience. Those experiences are all over internet. So taking off AdSense for a few days is a better bet!

    high CTR happen commonly on low traffic site, and nothing to worry about if all of them are natural click

    Are you able to see the ip address source of the clicks?
