The first day I have been heavily impacted by smart pricing!!!!!!!!!!! higher than average clicks today and I earned less than $1 usually those clicks would net me more than $3 grrrr
Wait till your getting $5000+ a day and smart pricing kicks in BTW... are the ads on your site un-related to the subject of the site?
I sometimes have successions of 1-5 cent clicks, but thankfully it levels out with a few $1+ clicks here and there. My average is about 25c/click.
My sites are affected with smart pricing too. Even I have almost the same CTR earnings is much lower than before.
I thought smartpricing was calculated weekly, so if you get smartpriced your account will be smartpriced for a week, then if conversions have improved, it goes away.
Up till now, i am not hit by smartpricing. I get a good CTR, but not enough traffic. Need to improve on Traffic.
