google adsense penalzies account if one site has bad CTR?

[jjcox]

does anyone have proof that if you own say 200 sites and 1 performs a horrible CTR that all future sites will shortly DROP their average income because of google penalties?

i heard you can delete sites that have bad CTR and it will help keep your other sites "commission rates" per click maximum

thanks,
JJ

As I started June last year, all my pages had terrible CTR.

By ading more and more content, I increased my income from month to month.

I was happy with my terrible CTR, because my last CTR before had been at banner advertising in the range of 0,1 to 0,2%.

So as an AdSense starter, I belived to have a great CTR, because I compared only with anti targeted banner advertising from the year 2000.

Only as I started to read in this forum, I started to improve my sites in February 2005.

So I am the proof, that 7 month bad CTR has no other effects than to have a bad CTR.

Google does not punish anyone for "bad CTR". If you mean smartpricing - it's not CTR dependent, but conversion rate dependent - the difference is huge. In simple terms, CTR is how often they click, CR is how often they buy.

it may have looked like a total drop, but it probably just was the introduction to smart pricing.
