After reading the google adsense blog i realized it is not accepted to use images next to google ads. My site in my sig was victim of smartpricing lately. I was not running images on this site, but on another site of mine on the same adsense account. I was wondering if this is the reason why i am getting smartpriced? Anyways, i have delete the complete images and ads from my other site and i'm hoping it will be normal again. What do you guys think?
I dont think the images have anything to do with smartpricing directly.. maybe your clicks weren't converting well for the advertisers because the visitors were 'tricked' by the images.
i was making like 4 cents a click when i had images next to my ads..then i took them off and my clicks fell down like crazy and i was still making 4 cents a click. a month later, I am still getting those low amount of clicks, but all of a sudden the past few days my cost per click went up to 22 cents. i'm not sure if i been unsmartpriced or if its just those Tax ads by H and R block.
