    what kind of clickthroughs are we getting?

    I hear that if it's above 5%, then you get kicked out of the program.

    Kinda a little bit confused...

    Isn't that higher % should be better? Or, they think we just on-purposely "randomly clicking" to boost up the #s???

    i think the clickthroughs for most sites is between 0.3% to 3%, with most sites getting 1%. So if a site gets 5% clickthrough or more, then there's most likely false-hits which violates the terms. I think so anyway.

    i agree, 5% will be really high and should raise an eyebrow from Google's point of view.

    BC/BF falls in the low end of BRL's range.
