Tips to Detect Invalid Click Activity
1) The CTR between 1% to 11% is usually considered normal. If CTR goes above 20% then you should consider doing something about it. If you get 25 clicks in 100 pageviews then you have about 25% CTR which is something to worry about.
2) If you get too many clicks but 0.00 CPC then those are invalid clicks. For example, if you get about 50 clicks with 0.00 CPC, then those were invalid clicks and were discarded by Google.
3) If you get Estimated Earnings equal to $0.60 and in the next minute or next hour it turns to $0.00 then this can be due to invalid click activity. In this type of problem, your earnings rise and suddenly disappear or become half when you refresh the page. This is because Google first considers the Clicks and the CPC for the same but after verification discards the invalid clicks.
4) If you get too many clicks from particular country but less pageviews then that can be a problem. Because the CTR would go high for that particular country. Or Too many Clicks but 0.00 CPC as shown in the image below.
