Very High CTR!

    Hi,

    I've built a site two weeks ago, and I'm getting a very high CTR (> 50% average for the last week).
    This morning the CTR was higher.
    Since the site is new, the traffic is low +- 10 visits/day.
    I'm a little scared about this :(
    The site is normal and there are 2 ads placed in the top and inside the 1º paragraph left.

    What should I do?
    Should I talk to G?

    your site is still new, you should wait a little until you can draw a conclusion (1-2 weeks)

    You can't draw good conclusions with such small numbers of visitors. If you have one page impression and your vistor clicks one ad, that's 100% CTR.

    If you had 1000 impressions and had 100% CTR, that would be a reason to check for fraudulent clicks.

    So, I should wait 1 or 2 weeks to see if things will drop down.
    Is that you opinion?
    Today the CTR is higher.

    A high CTR is nothing to be worried about if the traffic is legitimate.

    Don't bother contacting Google about such things.

    If that happens for only one or two days, you may not need to worry too much. But if that porblem last long, then you should report the invalid clicks immediately.

    The site is new and this is an average for the last week.
    The traffic is legitimate and mostly from organic searches.

    It will change once you add more content and get more traffic.

    50% CTR for 10 visitor dosn't mean your CTR is too high. one or 2 of your visitor can click on 2 ads which can drive up the CTR. as long as those are real visitor clicks, you have nothing to worry about. wait till your site/traffic grows when your CTR will be more stable
