Smart Priced, low CTR, low CPC

For the past 2 years, I have earned a decent amount of money from adsense, but now I have been smart priced so badly that I get $0.01 - $0.07 for a click. My CTR has also gone down by about 2.00%.

Can someone please help me with my ads on my site and what I should do in order to fix this issue like placements, color, or even content.

Here is my site:

Thanks

 

how much were you getting before per click?

 

Try to filter those ads from mfa sites. Their bid usually lower than average.

 

I was getting $0.11 for a click average.

How do I do that?

 

If you went from 0.11 to 0.7, I don't think you got smart priced. I would imagine that the your niche has just taken a downward turn.

 

I don't think you read my post properly, it says $0.01 - $0.07. I rarely get $0.07 for a click, but it can happen.

 

happens to the best of us xD

 

MFA infestation is likely the case here...as the poster said above, filter sites. Look at your website, see who the advertisers are and visit their site and check them out. DO NOT click the ads but rather use one of the methods recommended by Google. Look at the Competitive Ad Filter in your Adsense Control Panel when you log in.

I seriously doubt you've been smart-priced. Your symptoms are classic of a site that has been overrun by MFA advertisers.

 

So you are saying that you should type in the address of the adsense ads, and figure out who has MFA websites and block them?
Has this worked for you? sounds pretty basic in principle, but can you make this work or have you made this work?
I have sites that jump from 2-30 cent ads and will give this a shot.

 

I do it, and it works. I keep an eye on my ePC and it's often easy to spot when it takes a statistically significant change. If it's a downward change, I look at the ads on my site in more detail, check out the advertisers and invariably there are some bad apples who, though they write good ad-copy, have crappy useless sites. I filter them, keep an eye on my stats, and in all cases they've gone back up. Smartpricing does happen, but I am of the opinion that it is not as common as people think and that MFAs are much more often the case of low ePC.

 

I've tried filtering the ads, but so far, the CPC has remained the same
Is there any way which I could track my clicks and see who clicks what and how much is pays?
