I have a 10 blogs with adsense on it. 2-3 of them are smart priced, will it affect my earnings in my other blogs? Like 2 clicks for 0.03 cents when it used to get 0.8 cents per click. Will removing ads on those smart priced site increase my earnings? Thanks,
Penalty is applied Account Wide. So the answer is yes it will bring down any earnings on the account. This per Jensense.com whom got her information from an "insider". I have tested this and it appears to be the case. I do not put Adsense on any sites that do not have a decent PR on the home page. I also monitor to make sure I keep clickthroughs on all sites in my network above a certain threshold. Remove the code from those sites and watch for yourself. Also most people have too many ad blocks which will also lower your payout as low paying ads are displayed.
Also, you can try my code that shows ads only to search engine traffic,perfect for maximizing those low CPCs. http://zedomax.biz/blog/make-money-...ic-and-less-annoying-to-your-regular-readers/
