I first started with adsense over a week ago, for the first few days I was gettting a low amount of unique visitors, about 200-300/day. I was pulling in about 10-20 dollars a day. I started seriously promoting, and bam, over $50 in one day with 700-800 unique visitors. I have held that rate of visitors, but my stats have dropped substatially to one tenth of what I was making before. This occurred on the fourth. I hadn't changed anything and I was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same crappy results.
Can you tell us the URL (if you want of course). It's indeen strange, but in the last week or so I'm also experiencing weird results. Stuff like 5 clicks $0.00 and it wasn't me clicking, nor I have non paying ads there.
Just read over smart pricing, and basically if the advertiser is more likely to make a sale, then they pay more, but if they are less liekely, then they pay less? The sale of an item is based on what the person sees through the click, and not the content on the original webpage. Lame but ohh well.
evil smart pricing strikes again! I can only avoid it when i build niche sites with all targeted traffic
