Adsense smart priced my site for 3 days in a week as if my earnings is not low enough. How often do you get smart priced?
low eCPM does NOT at asll mean smart priced, specially if low $ occur on a few week days only. smart adword users have learned when to advertise most cost efficiently. hence some niches / markets have their best days and their days to avoid wast of advertising $. resulting in days with higher competition and days with lower competition - depending on weekdays, seasons, months-days, countries and of course also depending on global economic situation. overall the competition appears lower this year than a year ago - but that most likely is due to the fact that many weaker business may either have to save or are out of business. just produce / create more value content to compensate for a weaker global economy.
well if you don't believe you can read the official adsense blog. they do admit on smart pricing. how do i know this? because it occurs on all sites in my account not just one low seemingly conversion account.
making a final judgment is for google only, we can gues only. i think i was also smart priced for this month July. but it's ok now on from some past days
i'm pretty sure i was smart priced yesterday. my earnings per click have gone down the last month or so but it really went down yesterday. seems to be doing a little better so far today.
