I noticed that Whenever I place adbrite ads on my site, the Adsense CPC was reduced by over 70%. I removed adbrite code and I noticed that cost per click by adsense increased to normal. Currently the Cost Per Click is Twice of what it was with adbrite. Same happened when I used Kontera and some other adnetworks Is it mentioned anywhere that they can do this ? Now my friend also uses same combination and he noticed exactly same phenomenon.
i use Adsense, Kontera, Yahoo (a long time ago), Adbrite, and a new Beta system that i'm not permitted to discuss - i've never seen any detectable changes in ePC while cycling thru/testing the various programs with Adsense..
I dont use any other adnetwork still the CPC is down when I compare to past data, I dont think it really matters much.
I added Kontera to one of my sites and my CTR went down a little. I am watching to see if it is balancing out as far as payout.. time will tell. As far a CPC I can tell no difference.
I never heard about such problems with adsense. Many people are using adsense and other advertising networks on their sites and they are quite happy with their site's performance.
that is strange and doesnt make sense. i haven't tested it by adding and removing other ad network so coulnd't really tell for sure. thanks for posting your observation Tearabite
