I was doing a little googling regarding adsense and smart pricing today and ran across a blog entry from over 6 years ago. It said the following. The article goes on to say that someone with 2 adsense accounts (2 different business structures) did a comparison whereby he put all his "junk" sites, the low earners on one account and his "premium" sites on the other. He noticed a 15% increase in revenue on his premium sites and a 3% decrease in revenue on his junk sites. So it seems clear back in 2006 that Google smartpricing has the ability to cause problems for all your sites, not just the site in question. I know this is no surprise as the fix has always been to remove ads and watch for an increase in revenue to find the offending site. Does anyone know if this is still Google policy if you are using channels?
Wow, I didn't know that you could have more than one account. How would they determine what's premium and what's junk?
Individuals cannot have more than one account. If you own two businesses, each separately registered as an LLC for example with different bank accounts, the company owns the account not the person, therefore you could have more than one. If you have multiple websites, there is a good chance you know which are premium and which are just made for adsense (the bulk of the sites sold here for example).
