What is true? (About CTR)

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Parga, Feb 2, 2010.

    Taken from one blog:

    “Your CTR must lie below 7% (I recommend)”

    "From where you got that rule? This is bullshit. CTR can be easily 15%-30% and that is not a problem at all."

    "One of the Adsense Support Team told me this. He told that: It is good to have High CTR. Even though CTR above 10% will be suspicious to google which may lead to Ban."

    So what to believe? :p

    "From where you got that rule? This is bullshit. CTR can be easily 15%-30% and that is not a problem at all."

    That's the one. Caveat...the CTR must be legitimate. If you're doing something sneaky to achieve high CTR, you could be in trouble. But, if you're doing anything sneaky you could be in trouble regardless the CTR. Keep your site within TOS and Policies and don't worry about the CTR.

    Ya higher CTR is suspicious. Its better to keep it around 5-8%. Less than these values are good but higher should be trouble for us. Its my personal thinking to keep my adsense earning safe side. I don't know what others thinking.

    As far as I'm concerned, If your traffic is legit and your follow the rules then your ctr can be whatever. I've never read anything that says your ctr cant be higher then xyz %

    It's true that if you have a high CTR percentage, big g will be suspicious on your account. But as long as your traffic is legit, you don't need to worry.

    Higher CTR is not suspicious. Some of you make the most rediculous comments on here, but don't have a clue.

    As long as you're within Google Adsense guidelines, you'll be fine.

    i don't think high CTR is a problem. if it suspicious, google will check it . but if you are getting that much clicks in a legal way, nothing to worry
