For the last couple of days I have been getting pennies from adsense. Today I got 31 clicks and only $1.29. This sucks, man!! There was a time when I used to get in excess of $0.20 per click and very consistently. Now suddenly this has dropped to like 5 cents. I have an MFA filter list in place. If this is smart pricing I don't know why I have been subjected to it since I have a steady traffic on my site from google and various other sites. Why such low CPC? Why O Why?? What to do? Please help. This an SOS!!
ur site traffic must be not converting for advertisers, so less cpc quality of traffic decides cpc, not the niche used
The niche itself playes a big role in CPC. And yes, like coolnikin said, the clicks might not converting well for publishers and thus Smartpricing takes place.

Yeah I agree the neiche, and origin of traffic, but how can google measure the conversions for advertisers ? I don't believe that one. I just experimant with different pages and see what pays for me, then promote that page.
My niche is computers, tech, software etc. My traffic source is google, stumbleupon and other blogs and sites. My traffic source haven't changed much, but the CPC has.
