Im not sure whether to be worried or cheer...

    Ive had pretty steady income recently with adsense, today I log in and my earning per click has quadrupled. Same amount of clicks, same CTR, just 4x as much $$$

    Its so good its too good to be true. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I love it...but im just really freaked out by how much money i made today...

    Anyone else got stories like this? (just like to know so I can calm down)

    I'm such a newbie to all this adsense biz. I don't understand where on my pages to point google at so relevant ads get traffic...any suggestions?

    You have no control over advertisers bids so you have no reason to freak out. The fact that your CTR and impressions haven't changed rules out any traffic spikes, etc. Most likely is that the two top spots are both increasing their bids to outdo each other which happens all the time.

    What do you mean by "pointing Google"?

    I guess I used wrong terminology. I should have had my Maxwell House before typing such nonsense. I'm trying to figure out why Google is only pointing my "policies" page when I do a search. Home page isn't being seen.

    All pages rank independantly of each other so if you would rather another page rank for a specific keyword, you need to SEO the other page.

    Either that, or he escaped from smart-pricing hell. Happened to me a while back-- if you eliminate the poorly converting ad displays, your whole account can get a boost. I went from making 8 and 12 cents a click back up to 50 cents and over a dollar. Same pages, same type of traffic... I just eliminated some junk adspots.

    Interesting, I did actually remove some excessive adverts yesterday...but I wasnt expecting this too happen.

    So you recon if you remove low CTR adverts you will be less-smart priced?

    Seems like you are out of smart pricing restrictions. So you might be getting half of what advertiser might be paying instead of 5 cents/click. It's a good thing if your ppc income has jumped,i don't see any reason for you to worry.

    Low CTR... those spots where you have Adsense because nothing else sells and you get low paying keywords anyway (Paid Surveys, Arcade Games, etc).

    I have seen instances where revenue would clime rapidly because an advertise bid on the site specifically by clicking on "advertise on this site" ----
    If you account is set to run image and text, an advertise running image ads could boost rev based on impressions.

    But if your set for text ads only, you would see this senario...

    --

    Just throughing another possibility out there....
