    How likely is it for an adsense account to get smart priced?

    Are there any warning signs?
    Anything you can do after?

    I only ask due to adsense is my only earner at the moment.

    What kind of site do you have?

    Some sites are more prone to smart pricing due to their nature. Something like video sites or something like that are more prone to smart pricing.

    There are no warning signs, just signs you've been smartpriced. When you go from making 10$ a day to making $.05 a day you will know.

    After you've been smart priced the only thing you can do is remove adsense from all your sites for the course of 1 week. Smart pricing changes every week so you will become un smartpriced, but if you were already smart priced it's bound to happen again.

    well smart priced is simply when adsense give u a 0.05$ a click and less.
    You get smart pricied generally if u don't have quality traffic for ex u buy some cheap traffic or if u have a kid nich like arcade and some fun stuff etc ..

    The chances of you being smart priced with that site are slim. Smart pricing tends to be teen based sites.

    It's only about as likely as death and taxes.. All accounts are adjusted based on performance (aka SmartPricing) one way or another.

    The question is - will you be smart-priced in a negative way, and will it be severe or not.. Come back in 8 days and let us know!
