My clickthrough rate is usually in the single figures and today it was about 10 times above the average. This looks very unusual to me. Do I need to report this to Google?

thanks

Are you seeing a 10x increase in the number of actual clicks when compared to another day? Then there might be some concern.

If not, wait 24 hours until the stats are completely updated. The various stats update at different times, which can make it look as though your CTR is really high or really low some days - most often by the end of the day and the stats have completely updated, there is nothing unusual.

Ah...yes - I hadn't thought of that. Okay I'll wait and see what they're like tomorrow.

If they continue to be unusually high for that day is there a reporting to Google policy? What should be done if I'm concerned about it?

You mentioned that the reporting gets updated at different times. I've noticed that my Channel reporting seems to be completely off and has never updated properly. When does Channel info update?

Thanks for all your help.

Channels are updated after 2 days.

Not sure why the different stats update at different times, perhaps pulling data off different servers, or they could be cross-checking clicks etc.
