Day 1:
USA visitor comes to your site and click on the ad which leads to www.example456.com
and you earn some amount from that click, let's say 0,30$
Day 2:
USA visitor comes to your site and click on the ad which also leads to www.example456.com
and you earn some amount from that click, what do you think how much you get? same as the day before or different? But please dont say "it depends of..."
IMO, I think it should be different. There's many sites which generates only few clicks per day with many add trackers. Through them webmasters can discover worths of each ad. But do we really can find out worth of each ad? As we know, no one's doing that, even cheater who may tried but never excatly found out.
I think as google says, they have special algorithm, which I agree, but no the way they mentioned (it depends of source coming visitor). When someone's interested in some product or offer he's just interested, no matter where does he come from.
Algorithm (IMO) should be something like sinusoide. Amount of earnings are raising and goind back down. I think they're doing this oscilation in earnings amount to protect their advertisers privacy (how much they're paying for each ad) and to stimulate and surprise publishers of high paying click from time to time.
What's your opinion about this? Excuse me for my bad english, hope I've been cleared :)
oscilation in earnings amount to protect their advertisers privacy
sorry, but it does depend on many factors other than privacy.
coversion
visitor geograhical location
advertiser budget
wheather
time of day
site ecpm
number of competing ads for the same location
your source of traffic
....
in short no one but Google knows for sure
As you point out this discussion is only relevant if you get a mere handful of clicks a day and analyze those clicks to death. In that case you would expect the variations to be quite large anyway. My site gets in the thousands of clicks each day and the stats are extremely steady.
