    I have 2 questions :

    1 - i have an account at adword, and i use 1 adsense in my page.
    sometimes the Page CTR is 100% will google consider it click fraud ?


    2 - is it against adsense, to make one page only with few text and one adsense advertisement. Note : all my visitors will come from google adwords.

    thank you

    1. Why would they consider it "click fraud" if you didn't click on your own ads? Sounds like you have something to worry about. In that case, you should stop clicking on your own ads. No one in this world gets 100% CTR unless they're visiting their own pages and clicking on their own ads, or they get 1 hits a day and that one guy is clicking.

    2) It's called the TOS. READ IT.

    The TOS forbids creating pages with the sole intent of putting AdSense on them. If your page has very little text and is composed mainly of ads, this migh be a problem.

    I agree that it's probably not a good idea to put AdSense on a page with little content. In addition, you should keep in mind that visitors may find your site via means other than those you're directly promoting, i.e. AdWords. For example, if your site gets indexed in the search engines, or if other sites link to your site, you could receive visitors that haven't arrived by clicking on your AdWords ads.

    Yesterday one of my sites got 100% CTR but only 4 impressions (I didnt visit my own site), but another day it's 0%. If like me you sometimes get 100% but your impressions are low I don't think google is going to penalize you. With such low numbers the variation is huge.

    Just consider this. When you are banned for breaking their TOS there is always a number of other ad systems that will result in no money for you also.

    It can be when your website have very low impression.

    Onething I am thinking about is,, the webpage might be not interested and visitor find some link to get out of there.

    I used that way when I don't know where to go,, just have a chain click from one website to another one website. LOL

    Yes happens when you have very few visits and like one ad unit on the page.

    Try checking it again, probably the ration is like 1:1 , read Google TOS carefully.

    I had a CTR of 500% the other day from very low page impressions coupled with very high clicks. I contacted G and asked them to take a look. They said everything was fine.

    If in doubt, contact Google. They always respond very fast and it will put your mind at ease.

    keep those emails that you contact with G

    because they are so big nowadays, your AdSense-enquiries team and the ClickFraud team are two different entities, and sometimes they do not sing the same tune.

    You might have a case where G okays your queries and assures you that you are safe, only to receive the dreaded email days later about potential click fraud.

    Smart thinking, j3. I save all my G adsense correspondence in a separate email folder specifically for the reason you mention.

    google is a bit smarter than what you think, if you haven't been involved in a click fraud they won't consider it as such.

    btw, I once had a ctr of 400% so everything is possible ;)

    But if you consistently get a high ctr with large earnings it may trigger a review..
