    I got a site that had 17 clicks yesterday but only made $1.20

    For the past few days it averages about 5 cents per click, previously 2 weeks ago it makes about $3 for 12 clicks.

    I am tihnking it\'s being smart priced like what I hear about it. Is there anyway to get out of Smart Pricing and how does my site gets smart pricing?

    I found by increasing CTR, I was able to overcome the smartpricing effect.

    But what to do if your CTR is high and you can't find an easy way to get more visitors?

    Site gets smart priced if ads on your site get clicks, but those clicks don't lead to conversions for advertisers. In my opinion this is the case when ads don't fit well to the site. I don't mean the case when ads don't look well and have poor CTR, but the case when you have site about computers and ads about hotels. The people on your site are interested in computers, so if they click on ad it will probably not lead to conversion, because they aren't interested in hotels.
