Did i get smart priced?

hey guys for the past 3 months i've been averaging about 15-20$ a day for my forum but suddenly these past 2 weeks i've dropped down to 3-5$ so did i get owned by smart pricing? im working on switching ads from google and the more i try the lower it gets

 

You EXACTLY have the same problem as me.
In the end you don't know what to do,so you begin changing things,and everything gets more worse,then you put things back again as they were,and it gets worse again!
Now people will reply with "forums don't pay much" but thats not the issue,because even with the forum you had $15-20 a day.
The issue is that earnings are worse now...

 

yep thats exactly what im doing and what is happening, if this goes on i'll hafta down grade my server so im in the process of looking for a new sponsor or does anyone have any ideas?

 

15-20 per day? what are your forums based on webmasters or a specific category?

it could be that..

 

And what are you trying to say by that???
The fact is that he had that amount of visitors before,so what the site is about doesn't seem that important

 

i get a fairly consistant page views, about 1.6 mill page impressions a month and growing. Would anyone know a good adsense alternative for canadians? thanks

 

what he's trying to ask is the following:

Who are the members of your forums? Webmasters?? if the members are webmasters, they won't even look at ur adsense ads! but if the target is kids, old people, or not computer tech oriented, they will notice your ads

 

Teens to College crowd

 

Yeah it is frustrating I had my site optimised for adsense and for 3-4 months getting decent ecpm but the past month seen it drop by about a 70% its a freakin joke man, You keep thinkin more visitors= more money. Not Happy

 

if you need help in it , pm me ur msn
i was in same condition too

 

My clicks keep jumping around from one cent up to one dollar a click; some days are fantastic, and some are a joke. I haven't been able to figure out any reasonable explanation at all!
