As soon as there is a worthwhile alternative adsense is in for a rude awakeing.

When is that going to happen? Over the past year, people pinned their hopes on Chitika and Yahoo, only to be disappointed.

AdSense is far from a perfect system, but as the examples that I and a few others posted show, it's not necessarily the case that it works in the way NoLimits theorized.

The big problem about getting caught up in theories about the way AdSense limits our earnings is that you take away responsibility for doing better (or worse) from yourself and give it to Google. I prefer to believe that what I do can make a difference. Maybe that's a fantasy, but if so, it's a useful fantasy, because my AdSense trend, with some ups and downs, is one of steady growth in earnings, which is what matters.

I joined AdSense before smart pricing. Smart pricing reduced my earnings. But they are now up to double what they were before the smart pricing system was introduced. If there is a ceiling, I haven't hit it yet.
