Same pages, Same traffic, But earning is half now!

Hi all,

I am noticing sudden canges in my earning for all my sites.

For example, for "x" number of clicks i was getting $35, and now it is $14 to $15.

My site is same, Same pages, Same ammount of traffic, Same locations.. But the earning is a way low..

What is happening inside the google now?

Anyone else is getting same results?

Regards

I have read many postings here about the Smart pricing affect. please check to find out whether it is your situation now.

No, my earnings are doubled after I read the optimization tips from WebmasterWorld members and Google.

I do hope that your earnings will be back to normal soon.

Cheers.

What kind of smart pricing is this.. If a Genuine "X Gadget Site" is Referring "X Gadget Site" (without blocking the cometewtive ads) and sending genuine traffic to them, then my earning should be LOW?

This is really not at all incouraging for the publishers like me who has been using adsense for more than 3 years.

Do you rely heavily on a small number of AdSense advertisers?

If so, has there been any change in the ads that you're seeing on your site?
