The question is, I have heard about click dumps where Google adds held-over clicks to adsense reports after evaluating whether they are invalid or not. Is that what this is? Should I wait for a few days to see if it settles down to normal?
Or would this be a click attack where someone, for whatever reason, is clicking the ads madly perhaps to mess with some advertiser or with my account?
What is advisable - wait and see for a few days, or contact Adsense support directly? If contacting them, is it better to email them, or call the local office on their phone number and ask to speak to someone?
suddenly seeing 20-40 % CTR
But are your earnings increasing as well?
I've had click attacks in the past across several sites with thousands of invalid clicks, I contacted G immediately but they were already aware and invalidated them however they did leave them in the stats which made the CTR look rather high.
If it is a click attack, G is supposed to know about it and will handle it, I always thought.
- Have new advertisers appeared on your site? Maybe a blazing new offer has appeared that has your visitores captivated.
- How is your average time-on-site doing? Has it dropped dramatically sicne your CTR rise?
- Do you see a sudden surge of traffic coming from a specific geographical region or maybe even one IP?
