Have you ever looked at your Adsense account and see the clicks going up but the dollar figures sliding down?
If you used to get $10 per 100 clicks and now still seeing somewhere in the range of $12 for twice that number of clicks, then you’re inflicted with the rare common virus called Smart Pricing.
Smart pricing is basically getting paid lower than usual because the click did not covert or did not result into a sale for the advertiser.
It comes in a time when you are seeing really good upward results in your daily/weekly revenues only to see it slump on the 3rd week or so. Still traffic is growing, clicks are increasing but not the moolah. Unfortunately, this kind of illness however rampant and as common as the common cold, does not have a cure.
Ahhh, such is life.
in such case, where should be the problem? who should act on this?
Re #1, the problem is credit card-less caveman clickers

well in the end theyre trying to make it better for the advertisers, cause in the end a ad click should convert and not be random
Such are the pains. I think I’m smartpriced for several weeks now, it sucks. The sad thing is I don’t know how to get out of it.
I don’t think there’s any way out of it. Well, unless of course those caveman clickers fish out their credit cards and start purchasing from the advertisers, as Marc would put it.
Conversions. Conversions.
So whats the point of this page? You basically just complained about smart pricing and offered 0 content. Looks like a lame post just for an excuse to show adsense ads.
Your lame too
