Hi,

I hade a site for a long time without any ads, on it. Now on tueseday i put in Google Adsense, and made right CHANNEL`s and every thing now on sunday i noticed that my CRT was SKYHIGE! It was 57% in the middle of the day!?

Before on my other sites they converted some where between 2- 5 % CRT

But this site converts like hell, i have heard that people do have these FireFox and other clickers that are made purly to click ads on google, so i think somebody is trying / useing one of those!?

Ehh i removed the ads agein, and sendt a email to Google Support to se if those are valid, and if i can have ads on it!?

Now it`s been allmost 4 days without a replay!?

Are they that slow, or is it that they realy are cross checking my stats / revenue etc!?

Any sugjection in this ISSUE!?

For real!? Cause im not that familiar with google`s CRT how it works and what`s good / bad etc..!

Im used to have it under 5% so it struck me in a GOOD way that the site is converting like that! :)

Nitrous, you wanna say that you have a website with CTR bigger than 57%? Come on man, that can't be legit, and you know it.

All I did was follow the optimization tips that google publishes:

[google.com...]

I run adsense on every page in the "hottest" areas according to google and my page CTR for last month was 48%, totally legit traffic as far as I know, up from about 10% themonth before. message me if you want to see the site

Its averaged 56 percent for over a year, its totally legit, and unfortunately gets only about 100 visitors a day. It used to ba a site that sold widgets, but now sells nothing, as it wasnt worth the trouble. The info is still there and so are the ads. Its totally straight, never even seo properly, and has only 20 pages. Some days its 70% plus. others 40 but due to low trafic it only earns about 10 dollars a day!

The reason it works is because the visitors are there because they wanted to buy a specific widget and find that they no longer can! Unless they click a "buy specific widget here" ad! Its because of pre qualification, in that they already clucked after searching for "buy specific name widget here" title in search engines serps. IF they were not ready to buy they would not be there in the first place!

most of my other sites (hobby, lots of info several thousand words and drawings etc per page) hover around 12 or 13 percent and get 3 or 4 thousand impressions daily. All together they pay me about 3600 monthly for almost 2 years with little in the way of updates for at least a year. The secret is LOTS of free unique info that simply is not available anywhere else at any price - never mind free.

That's the most important lesson anyone can learn in this business.

Good work Nitrous, please check your PM (or StickyMail, as they call it).

When it comes to CTR, there is only 1 KING here, and that's MediaSpree. :) If MediaSpree hasn't convinced me that CTR of 60%+ is possible, I would never believe it. But, it is possible!

I know! I have a 77% today but it will drop off now as after midnight it always does. if this site had the traffic my other sites get I would be rich! But Im afraid not... At 80 to 100 imp only - miserable!

My other sites are massively content (very unique) rich and google have just dropped 3 of the 7 or so almost completely for no known reason! Cant even be found via a search for the exact title until 10 pages deep! And there are dozens of sites in front quoting my exact titles and url (scrapers and similar) all useless and spammy results!

So I lost 85 percent of my traffic here... So now to build a scraper, its what google obviously want! Why fight it... I am so far totally genuine and content rich and google punish me for it! It is costing me 40 percent of my total income. And the scrapers are getting rich with zero unique content or worth.
