Consistent adsense CTR of >100%? - GoFuckYourself.com

DeviousBros. · 06-02-2006, 02:34 PM

I've got a couple adsense sites that quite consistently generate a 100% ctr or greater.

I've read that this may be a glitch, but this happens almost daily for one of my sites. Many others are greater than 50% as well.

I'm aware this is really nothing to complain about, but i'm concerned that this may get me flagged as i've read that anything over 10%CTR may get them looking.

The sites themselves are not spammy, and the traffic comes naturally from highly targetted yahoo and msn placements.

I'm quite new to adsense but can see tons of potential with it. I'd hate to blow it without even knowing why.

Anyone else experience this?

Thanks in advance.

That would be basically impossible

I think we would need to see the site......

A bit more poking around suggests that this is accomplished by a user clicking an adsense ad, clicking back to the site, then clicking another.

Looks like I optimized the sites a little *too* good.

I've seen this regularly on low-traffic sites. How much traffic are you getting?

Every time I put a turkey in the oven, it comes out cooked.

Very low, less than 20 impressions a day on the high CTR sites.

yeah, i've seen that very often on low traffic sites. sounds like you have a good layout. you should replicate it on a higher traffic site.

Yes, for sure. I'll likely shoot them an email just to make sure that that site and similar ones meet the guidelines.

Fortunately I really don't see how they wouldn't.
