    Hey sup all. Ok so i have an adsense account i run under my LLC. I have about 45 sites all running adsense. My one main site usually does about $20 a day, but I always feel the ppc should be way higher. Anyways I forgot i had an personal adsense account i set up years ago.

    I was thinking well maybe cause i have adsense running on so many sites google was smartpricing me or something. I just couldn't see why some clicks on other high paying keywords sites were so low.

    Ok anyways i put the code from my personal acct on my big earing site.
    Bamm!! first day over $40. I haven't had that in over a year and Im already half way there today!! So what gives?

    Am i being smart priced? How can i get my LLC account to start paying better?

    Open to any suggestions.

    Thanks

    Sounds like smart pricing. Could also be that your
    quality score as an advertiser was given a default
    value until proven otherwise.

    Try out your LCC account for a couple of days, then try again :)

    Yeah, they really do smart-price the "whole account". I stopped putting adsense on one of my sites which i suspected was the culprit to my account being smart-priced, and after that my earnings on other sites increased eventually. So it ISN'T about "more sites = more earnings".

    I think you need to find (experiment) which sites amongst those 45 sites of yours that are performing poorly, the ones that made your whole account being smart-priced.

    Good info!! Thanks.,
    Yeah i think what im gonna do is move one site over at a time. I will only use the quality sites for now. Then slowly get the sites i have paid no attention too and show them some love lol.

    Ill try to post back and let you all know how it went. If the $$ stays up ill be happy but pissed. Means I have been missing out on $30-40 days for prob a year. ugh!!!!

    THanks again!

    I rotate my adsense between 4 separate accounts because of the smart pricing issue and it clearly makes a difference.

    It's a pain because you have to change all your ads but it pays in more revenue.

    I use two accounts

    One for new sites which is smart priced.
    and the other account for my established sites that get clicks and good traffic.

    Guess which account has 60 websites and which has 4 ? :D
