Anybody have any information as to people being terminated by Adsense for too few clickthroughs? My CTR is a little below what seems to be considered as average. I would really hate to be terminated after putting Adsense on over 1000 clean content pages. Let's just say my site runs a little over or under 3% CTR. Will that keep me active with Adsense? Or do they just count the actual legal clicks? I only have legal clicks, but FEW. It took me 2 months to get the $100 minimum. But I am new, very new with Adsense and building as fast as possible. Any input is appreciated.

I don't think there is a minimum required CTR percentage, only a minimum number of valid clicks in 2 months.

roadhazard, all website will have certain percentage of invalid clicks. For example, visitor comes to your website, takes interest in your ads, and clicks once. Then he spends 2-3 minutes on advertisers website and decides to come back to your website. Then he spends 1 minute on your website and clicks one of your ads.
So in 5 minutes, you got 2 clicks from same IP. Google does not like repeated clicks, but what could you do about it in the first case? If visitors take interest in your ads, they will do repeated clicks (not because they hate you, but because they are interested in what advertisers have to offer). And repeated clicks are considered high risk when it comes to getting charged for "invalid clicks" by Google.

Wonder how many clicks we need in a two month period to avoid getting booted off Adsense? I am building more pages as fast as possible. 5 or 6 a day. I am glad the site is beginning to show up for certain pages in early G. SERPS. Thank goodness, it is no longer in the sandbox. Maybe I will have enough clicks in any 2 month period to stay in. I hope so. No, I am not worried about repeated clicks by some visitors. Just want to stay in Adsense program...
