Massive increase of adsense clicks

fab145 said:

My Adsense account was recently got banned. There was a ranking boost and therefore traffic and clicks. CTR was around 20%.
I've contacted them thrice, provided them awstats logs. But they refused to reinstate my account.
One more innocent and an honest webmaster has lost his Adsense account. Too bad

20% is extremely high
i can clearly say your site design was not correct or was meant to trick visitors to click ads

my ctr is 0.10% - it is below of avg due to site type

i can say 2.5%+ becomes dangerous

Wait a week or so and then contact them again if the issue continues. Usually within 1 to 2 days you see the issue go away. I have a few phone numbers for google if you want them too. Keep your sent emails too. I honestly would not get so worked up about it as things like this happen especially in a competitive niche. It would be naive to think that google is not aware of these circumstances.

The key is if this issue happens (or when) as long as your account has NOTHING to hide you will not get banned. From your earnings you probably had the account for a few years now. As long as you monitor it and continue to contact google with your concerns you will be fine.

Then you will be fine as long as you reported it to google. They are well aware of people click bombing. What usually happens here is if there is click bombing activity on your account they will roll back the clicks and give those ip's 0 weight when clicking on your ads in the future.

A good indication that your account has been flagged for click bombing is when you see your account numbers fluctuate by the hour or every 15 mins

As long as you are following the google adsense TOS and informed them of the issue you WON'T get banned (regardless of what other people say)

It might be different for new accounts but I had this problem a few times and my adsense account is 6 years old. I seen my earnings jump 1000$ or more in a day and looked at the CTR and it was 35% when the average is 4-7%. Wrote them, weird fluctuations every day and a lower than average finalized earnings for the month but I always got my deposits and then the issue went away.

Good money you are making there but I really don't think you will have an issue as long as you are genuine to the TOS and you never had your account for like 2 months or something.

For perspective (From google adsense toolbar):

LIFETIME REVENUE: $1,483,800.84

Relax and enjoy your earnings
