“Impressions (is the site well trafficked – which could indicated authority)”

Could also maybe be if a page gets lots of traffic but almost no clicks ever it could be deemed not relevant material so a click from it even if sparse would be of less value?

I recently had some adsense on one site and I was getting $5 a day on average from around 7 clicks.

Since adding adsense to other sites that have a low CTR – this same site is now generating about $0.40 for the same amount of clicks.

i can only assume that the lower CTR of my other sites have affected this one – or am I missing something?

I think 2% is the magic number (according to Courtney Tuttle)

This looks like a very good thing from advertisers’ perspective, especially with those ‘adsense arbitrage’ sites all over the internet.

I came to know about smart pricing very late. My earnings are very very low now.
- Though CTR is okayish around 10% in a month
- The traffic is also good.

I think this is the content where I am lacking.

Thanks for the information.

I have noticed that when I promote my website using Adwords I get alot more clicks on my Adsense ads but get a lesser return on them they go from say 50 cents per click down to 4 or 5 cents…. This must be smart pricing….

Thanks for the tips on smart pricing. In February, my home recording site was averaging $0.35 per click. With no significant changes that I am aware of, I was paid $0.07 per click.

I’ve been totally white-hat with this site and have hand-written hundreds of articles.

I guess I need to start experimenting since I’m getting paid 1/8 of what I was making just a few months ago.

[...] 3. Combat Smart Pricing I’m not entirely sure if YPN has “Smart Pricing”, but with AdSense if you are serving ads across multiple websites and one of the websites has clicks not converting as well as others, that website will drag down your revenue per click as a whole. See more information on “Smart Pricing” here or here. Many publishers who realize this and deactivate Adsense from their poorly performing sites see an increase in click payouts due to smart pricing. With RMX Direct, if you suspect that one of your websites may be hurting your overall revenue per click due to Smart Pricing, you can stop serving AdSense ads to that site with the click of a button. There is no need to take down ad code off the site since it’s controlled through the ad server. Then you can also turn it back on with the click of a button, switch it to YPN ads, or do something else with it. It’s much easier and quicker than jockeying code around all over the place. [...]

On one of my sites, recently, I got smart priced as in my earnings plumited despite the same numbe of clicks and impressions. One thing that I had changed was to add two ad units side by side on some pages (to get more above the fold ads for advertisors to bid on). 2 days later, the smart pricing kicked in.
Over the next 5 days, my earnings plummited from $20/day to $3.25/day. Removing the second ad unit on some pages to increase my CTR reversed the change over a period of about 3 days. One thing I noticed was that my eCPM went very low during smart pricing, as in down to less than $/CPM, but returned to it’s normal once I was outside the smart pricing range.
Hope that helps someone out. The main thing I learned is that taking up googles offer of putting 3 ad units on each page may not always be a good idea, despite what the marketers often tell us.

For blogs that have been running for a long time plus is filled with the same niche throughout it’s content, i don’t think they will experience a significant drop in earnings. IMHO, personal blogs are most effected by this Smart Pricing :-)
