Ran a Facebook ad campaign, drove my CTR through the roof, should I email Google?

    My CTR went crazy after running a FB campaign, high enough I'm a little concerned. Should I email Google to let them know why I have a big CTR/Traffic spike?

    I personally wouldn't worry about the traffic from a legit campaign unless you're doing something dodgy like running a MFA site.

    While I agree with The Word in general, it probably wouldn't hurt if your CTR *really* spiked. That must have been one hell of a campaign; I typically find that traffic from social systems produces much lower CTRs than organic search traffic.

    Be careful you might get banned or you should fill a form which is available to let them know that you expect an increase in CTR and traffic

    Could you make any money from the campaign?

    Do you think anyone from Adsense even reads such reports? I can't even get the team to respond to a simple question. I highly doubt they would care if you submitted a ticket saying that you had a bit more traffic than usual.

    It's normal. I've had 30% CTR and higher off and on, and I've been fine. I've heard of others getting higher.
    Really you should only worry if you're doing something wrong.
