Since Google started showing Invalid Clicks Rate (ICR) as a reporting option within AdWords, I've been monitoring ICR on my personal AdWords campaigns (all political in nature). In my case ICR's have tended to fluctuate between 5.5% and 9.0%, for campaigns where content bids are ~1/5th search bids and still accounting for ~40% of total clicks. I'm not sure what the AdWords T's & C's says about sharing ICR data, but I would love to hear from other advertisers what their ICR is. Anyone else want to share? -Shorebreak

ICR? I don't see any ICR in my Google account? Where do you find this ICR?

Go to the Report section, create a custom report where you can choose the fields, and check the 'invalid clicks rate' box, then run the report. They don't make it particularly easy to find, do they? -Shorebreak

Hiya Shorebreak... Interesting data - thanks for pointing it out. Depending on the global region, I'm anywhere from 2.5% to 7.5%... the US is near the low end of the range, Asian countries at the high end.
