Adsense Click Through Rates

Hi all,

I would like to know should I receive a very high click trough rate, say 24%, on my Adsense ads will Google ban my account (god forbid), if all of the clicks generated are from targeted, genuine visitors to my website? Please explain...

    No not at all.

    What happens with adsense stats is some days your clicks you get for that day wont register until the next day, thus getting an overinflated CTR.

        Yes very sure, I see it time and time again.

        If you have a below average CTR one day, the next day or so, you'll have a higher than average CTR.

    You shouldn't be worried if you are not doing anything wrong or against their terms of services. You should be worried if you are.

    I wouldnt focus on one day personally. See what your ctr is for the month. Typically as long as it is below 10% for the month and you are not doing anything to violate their terms of use then you will be fine.

    I remember John Xfactor saying he was getting as much as 75%-100% CTR on some sites and he never got banned. I have personally had 30%+ on some of those carefully optimised niche sites, but that depends on so much. If you traffic is converting, I doubt Google cares even if your CTR is 100% - you're connecting buyers with customers, and that's the point of Adsense. If you are just sending junk clicks (or worse - committing click fraud), well, you'll get smart-priced or worse. I don't think CTR by itself is any indicator.

    RATS! I just realised we are on the Main forum - this is an Adsense question. It will probably get deleted, quite rightly.
