I have been smartpriced :(

    For the last 2 month i have been smartpriced - first time in 3 years. I have been having several 1.000 clicks a month and still am.
    Revenues dropped to almost 1/3. I removed the ads today with another provider.
    My questions:
    How can I get out of smartpricing?
    How long do i have to wait before i put google ads back on?
    Any useful alternatives to adsense?

    Thanks you all!

    Taking out the ads & waiting a few days usually does the trick... it's easier to track if you have a lot of sites on the same adsense account

    First of all, I think you should have started another thread.

    Anyway, I think you should the higher paying keywords. However, you must expect more competitors.

    But if you think you are now comfortable with your niche, you just need to add more search engine traffic, and more original and useful contents.
