    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

I just figured out why my adsense clicks dropped from 10-28 cents to 3-4 cents!!

    Ive been getting traffic cheap threw paying low cost per clicks....Ive been paying pennies and you guessed it, thats just what google has started paying me.....crazy!!

    Then I read this article:

    Smart Pricing Info from Inside AdSense

    A quick overview of AdSense / AdWords smart pricing:

    Because contextually targeted ads on our content network sometimes return lower conversion numbers than ads on Google.com search results pages, clicks from the content network use “smart pricing” adjustments. Google’s smart pricing technology automatically lowers the cost of content clicks based on the referring site, to maximize the return on investment for advertisers.

    Smart pricing is old news and talked about on these forums regularly. While everyone appreciates these tips, you really should search the forums before posting.

    In my opinion Google is ripping off publishers with this "smart pricing". We offer a site that an advertiser can advertise on at a fair rate. Yet Google decides to lower that price that the advertiser bids. Its a way for Google to rip off publishers plain and simple. I can promise you that google charges the advertiser the same amount.

    google pays a set % of revenue to its publishers. so whatever google charges the adwords advertisers, a set % goes to the publishers. i would not say google is ripping off publishers
