is this long term or short term....... just want to know if i will alwayse be smartpriced or if its only a short term thing. what are some ways to get out of it?
Short-term, assuming the quality of your clicks improve. Also, realize that smart pricing isn't a boolean factor -- it's not just "OFF" and "ON". I'm of the opinion that most sites face some degree of smart pricing (a little, a little more, a lot, etc) based on their traffic patterns.
hey i wold just play around with the site and change some words etc. add another internal link and then submit the sitemap again. It works for me
Just an FYI...if you have a network of blogs you are running and you are in fear of getting smartpriced on one of the blogs, cut it off from the group and try to monetize with something else. If one of your blogs get smart priced ALL of your other blogs will get the same.
Well, I have personally never been smart priced but I have had fellow marketers complain that indeed, if you are smart priced, your adsense publisher id gets it. I could be wrong though and they could just be paranoid....
