I am not sure that the correct angle on Smart Pricing has been tackled in many of the threads on it.

There are a considerable number of anomalies to take into account, were this to be the case.

Firstly, how would Google know if a conversion had taken place? For example, many users browse a page, save it to favourites, and return to it later. I, for one, often look at a page, save it, look at others, and then return to buy something.

Secondly, would saving a page to favourites not be considered an action worthy of a click?

If clicks were smartpriced to such an extent, how come some clicks come in at 2 cents and others at 2 dollars, displayed on the same page.

There are a number of websites that advertise on Google who don't even offer things for sale, but want to advise on information, such as the new home buyers guide in the UK.

I believe that if smartpricing were that prominant, then there would be many more PSA's showing on websites.
