Well Recently I've been trying some new things... and I've been getting some pretty nice CTR's.

My top performer has a very high CTR.. this is all white hat and within Google's TOS..

Should I be worried?

I know that it will raise a red flag with Google but I should pass the manual check and then I will be good? Right?

I've recently started getting $2.00+ clicks as well...

There is money in adsense... my blog is only a few days old.. and I recieve 100+ uniques a day.

Who says getting traffic is hard?

    You should definitely not be worried, no. Some people (including myself today, on one of my sites) go get rare days when a site gets 100% CTR

    Google might check your site, yes (however there'll be 10,000s of people who have > ~30% CTRs, they can't check them all), although you are doing everything within the TOS hence have no reason to worry. They might check it, you'll pass, and everything is back to normal

      Hi how could some people get CTR as high as 30% ? I've heard that your site will be investigated and watched by Google once you've got a CTR higher than 10%

        Hi Chris,

        If thats true then I have sites that must get investigated each and every month and have been for several years.

        I happen to believe that most sites are looked over before each and every payment is issued, regardless of your CTR.

          You talk about getting nervous, i've got up in the morning to check my reports and found some of my campaigns with over 150%. I feel better when they get down to a more comfortable number. I don't think we have anything to worry about as long as we follow the TOS.

          I just can't wrap my head around the idea of human reviewers for anything. Instead of thinking human reviewers or not, think about the work involved in checking and analyzing websites and whether Google would really do that.

            Hi marketseeker,

            Yeah, They would probably have to employee something like 20,000 employees to do human reviews on that scale. That couldn't be true unless... wait...

    Google LOVES high click rates! They wish every advertiser had 30-40% click rates. Not something to worry about. You should be happy!

      Lucid, I think he's taking about Adsense on this one , not Adwords, not so sure Google view the CTR rate with quite the same affection

    Hi jitterbug978,

    Edit your post and remove the CTR. It is explicitly against the TOS to publicly disclose your AdSense CTR.
