1 cent clicks are real

I ve started getting 1 cents clicks now for one of my sites ads, lol
Used to be I got 3 cents, now 1 cent (it's a site for a certain food)

 

something seems fishy...maybe give it a few days it'll come back to normal.

 

The clicks and earnings are normal, all sites etc are generating normal ranges, it's just that lately I ve started getting 1 cent earnings for one particular sites ads, where before they used to be 3 cents a click. I just didn't think they were less than 3 cents, since Ive never seen a earning of less than 3 cents per click until lately, must be part of the google smart pricing or optimization thing.

 

And another good pun gets wasted

 

hahah I was thinking the same thing until I saw your reply. Something is pretty fishy.

 

I might be wrong, but may be smartpricing hit upon your site

 

im sure ive heard it mentioned, these are not 0.01$ clicks they are advertisers that pay per impression and not per click

 

I'm seeing this on one of my sites too. Sunday was my worst day - 14 clicks $0.14 About a month ago I was getting between 1 and 2 dollars per click on that site - must be smart pricing

 

Yes. I can confirm this. And it is not pay per impression but per click.
I saw 1 click and 0.01$. Does google want to beat Yahoo this way?

 

Google are smart all right, imagine if you could pay whatever you liked in your local bar?

Barman The usual Gordon?

Customer Make it a double!

Barman That'll be £3 Sir

Customer Heres 50p you Chump

Still, could have been worse. Last week Billy Bidvertiser bought a whole bunch of mates down, puked on the Snooker table, started a fight and left without paying a dime

Welcome to the club of $0.01.... I am experiencing this thing 2 weeks now.

 

It's good that you didn't get clicks with less than 1 cents. I have got a few of clicks that less than 1 cents!
