Smart Pricing. Whats The Effective Way to Get Around This?

My traffic has gone up this month but I am learning less than last month. I am getting low cents per click when it used to be alot higher. Whats the best way to go about getting rid of smartpricing ?

# Delete alot of the ads on pages that have little to no advertisers?

#Cut down on the # of ad blocks displayed on the page?

I would say increase content, but I already have the best content for my niche

what else can I do so I can make more money ?

 

I'm wondering this as well.

 

Filter ads that have adsense or clickbank on thier site. I also get rid of any ad that displays one topic and has nothing to do with it on the site. Watch out for sites that are search engines they smart price all the time.

The only way to stop it is google has to stop all the people who do it. They should have system that cancels accounts if they are filtered out by so many publishers.

 

I don't really understand the whole smart pricing AdSense thing. AdSense is a small portion of my income so I haven't paid a great deal of attention to it. But I should spend some time optimizing for it.

I'm not really understanding if Smart Pricing is something that happens to a website or something that advertisers are doing it... Like what does the advertiser do in AdWords that makes it "smart pricing" ?

 

i think you must get targetted traffic from search engines to avoid from smart price

 

i prefer cut down ad blocks!

 

i periodically check the sites i'm linking to. if i found the site is just MFA site, i'll straightaway ban them. they tend to pay the lowest, as their concept is just like an arbitrage.

 

What do you mean?

 

u need a lot of traffic

 

do you mean to reduce number of adsense ads displayed on your website or are you talking about the adblock add-on for firefox ?

 

There is no way around it.
I get smart price all the time but only like 3-7 days per month. The rest is good day with 10 cent average per clicks.

 

Cut down AdBlocks. Helped me, I went from 4 to 1/1-2 per page.

 

I'm not exactly certain about the Smart Pricing formula, but what has worked for me includes increasing the ratio of quality content versus ads, for example, Google Adsense can pick-up if your page has a ton of affiliate or ad links versus a small portion of text.

Also, make sure you are not recklessly copying and pasting text, too much RSS feeds, or dynamic content, the higher the quality of content, the longer the user stays on your website reading your content, the higher your earnings. Smart Pricing helps defeat all the Adsense arbitrage junk websites that pose as Google and affiliate links.

 

Oh, and one more thing, there is also the possibility that if your cents per click has dropped, it could also be due to fewer advertisers due to less competition, therefore they are bidding lower for keywords or due to the unsuccessful ad campaigns, they are no longer bidding on certain keywords, etc. Also, depending on your industry, it can be seasonal.

 

Im a believer in smart pricing has to do with certain niches. Where there is competition by advertisers. A lot of people will say it has to do with the quality of traffic. But thats not true to me.

 

Didn't you prove in another thread that it WASN'T niche based?
