    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

Should I be worried?

    My CTR is three times what it usually is today. My usual CTR is very low double digits so I am not talking about 1% going to 3%. I have not made any changes to my site prior to this happening. I am nervous that someone may be messing with my ads and get me kicked out of adsence.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    If you haven't clicked on your own then no, I wouldn't worry whatsoever.

    All those posts you see where people claim they did nothing are complete BS. It usually comes out after a while that they were up to something.

    In your case, I wouldn't give it another thought.

    Then what is to stop a person from going to a different computer and clicking their own ad 100 times. If I have a customer or even a competitor on my site that is clicking my adds over and over again, I would think that google would take notice.

    I believe they only track one click per IP or computer, would take a lot of work.

    My CTR is triple the normal number - higher revenue per click as well.
    Wonder what's going on?

    Are any of your sites shopping related? It is Fathers Day soon and that is a busy month for one of my sites.

    I think stats aren't displaying correctly. I'm not sure what I can or can't say regarding CTR, but it can't be right today.

    What ever is happening appears to have stopped.... My stats were going crazy this morning, but now it shows I haven't had a click in a couple of hours.

    I heard the google gnomes are on the loose. They hijacked the PR system, now they were playing with adsence numbers..

    It's because Impressions tracking is off.

    The impressions numbers are less than half of what they really should be; and thus the CTR and eCPM are more than double what they should be.

    Shouldn't affect your revenues though.
