Hello, I have a new community here : http://community.mehost.co.uk running vBulletin forum software. I have a header and footer advert (720x80) and have had 100o page views but only 1 click. Now i dont game the system its not me staying on my pc holding down F5 all day ! As its such a bad rate 1000/ 1 could i get suspended ? Cheers
Where is your traffic coming from? It doesn't have to be you hitting F5 but there are scripts that will generate a ton of fake traffic, this could be harmful.
Disabling adverts for admin would probably be a good call. But I highly doubt that Google will ban you because of impressions coming from admin, unless your manipulating the number of page views. There a plenty of sites out there with very low click through rates.
No, you'll be fine. I'm wondering about your adsense placement though. Maybe you should consider optimizing that... or maybe you just have a keyword that doesn't convert...if that's the case, you should think about putting something else besides adsense on.
just watch the CTR , example : CTR = Clicks / # of impressions, views, or queries , if you received 7 clicks 1000 page views, the Page CTR will be equal to 0.7%. , if you exceed 5,5% you r n risk to lose your account! becareful
I also have a site with lots of views but I only added one google link ad. no one clicks at it but I'm just fine.
As long as the clicks are genuine, you need not worry. Generating lots of page impressions with F5 key will harm your account.
Thanks guys, i looked on my adsense account and heres the averages, Page views average = 500 Clicks per day = 2 Adverts sill disabled for admins to be safe
