    i'd pull your adsense ads, increase your traffic quality and try to target the ads better before you put them back up.

    It seems smart pricing has hit me too. Never seen so much 0.01$ clicks like these days.

    What exactly is this 'smart pricing'? I've always had about a 10% click rate giving me .01 to .05 cents but I still get a good share of .20 cent clicks to keep me working at this stuff...

    You're not smart-priced. Ads don't all pay the same, even in the same "niche" Sometimes your site gets infested with low-paying, POC/POS/FL, MFAA sites and you earn a cent or two per click with those.

    I've had penny clicks and I've had a recent $1.90. So it depends on what ad is running that happens to interest people at that time. If it is a blog site, perhaps one of the more popular stories is featuring only lower-paying ads.

    Try blocking the URLs of the current ads you see, and see if you get more :p

    Smart Pricing is a term penned by Google when they figured out how to screw you over on your Adsense.

    I'm in the position to know several of the advertisers on one of my local RE sites. The Adsense payouts on that site have went down in cost per click recently.

    I contacted a couple of the advertisers and asked if their Adwords have went down and they said no. In fact, all of them said they were paying more for clicks on the Adword campaigns.

    Smart Pricing...for Google.

    As I've said before, is it any wonder the Google boys made it into the Top 10 richest people this year?

    I've started trying other ad networks. Kontera was the same or worse than Adsense. Now I'm trying AdBrite. I'll let you know how they turn out.
