I donīt use referrals but maybe, if you use referrals 2.0, you get conversions from other advertisers, besides the conversions from google and it's products.
Anyone else having the same problem?
I can safely say they're not. Do you think your referrals are the same as mine?
You understand how this works, right?
My question, and I realize I should best address this to google staff... my question is... WHY HAVE I BEEN SMARTPRICED?
My traffic converts. I've always known this but they tell me it doesn't. They indicate this by the amount they pay me.
I like referrals simply because they validate my little mission statement....
Stoopid algos... pre-designed code trying to tell a man what his job is....

2. What do you mean by "around" $20~30? Is there one specific bounty or is the payout variable based on what the user purchases?
I think this is a new feature in adsense referrals.
it is similar to smart pricing - called smart browsing. In this case google discounts the value of your visitors purchases based on their browsing history. Google attempts to predict the customer's ability to use the referral product and discounts the money you get when G thinks they are too dumb to use it effectively. If they have visited porno sites then you get a 90% reduction.
I believe G is applying for a patent on this method.
