Why does it happen ?

    I managed to enlarge my site traffic from 300 to 1000 pages/day,
    and my clicks number growed correspondingly.

    But somehow I have a feeling that I started to get less for each click. Significantly less.

    Do you think there is any connection ? I also enlarged te number of pages about the same amount. :confused:

    What kind of traffic is it? Smart pricing, maybe?

    I have the same feeling too, it seems whether I get 5 clicks or 15 clicks I get the same $2.00 :(

    Same thing over here, more targeted traffic leads to a huge drop in epc. I don't believe this is how smart pricing is supposed to work but it seems like whenever you have a surge in traffic, it's going to think they're junk traffic. I am starting new sites and making sure they don't get too big to try to win over sp.

    I have sites with 50 pages and sites with 20K+ pages, both average about $0.25 per click. So I don't think it has anything to do with size of site.
