Pay them enough per click and they will un-generalize, plus up your Q score.

One wonders if they're trying price differently based on potential site profit. Forget the "quality score" debate and just look at the effects of whatever it is they're doing:

E-Commerce Sites (Low Margins): Pay Little
Good Content Sites Like Newspapers (Low Margins): Pay Little

Arbitrage Sites (High Margins): Pay Lots
eBook Sites (High Margins): Pay Lots

It's an interesting pricing strategy if they're thinking that way...
