"Upcoming changes to Smart Pricing"

What's this about?

[Broadway]

I've received email from Adsense (the email somehow isn't dated but I assume it's from today or yesterday). It states that in coming weeks there will be changes to the Smart Pricing system, but doesn't say what (or precisely when it will happen).

I was curious if I really was singled out for this heads-up email or if everyone else was receiving this email too.

Anyone have any information, in general, about the changes? I looked on the JenSense site but didnt' see any info about this.

Thanks

Hey Broadway - glad I saw this. I too got the letter that you did. I got mine June 18th. I can't seem to talk to anyone about it either.

I'm going to send you a pm - see if we have anything else in common.

Well, the sky is falling chicken little. Watching out for falling earnings along with it.

Well I never got that email, may be I am already smart priced to the max!

BTW the guys who got this email are you premier publishers with millions or page views?

[ScubaAddict]

No - not a premier publisher, yes - millions of page views.

I too received the email on June 18th. I was thinking that yesterday's maintenance would be dooms day since it was roughly a "few weeks" from the date of the email but so far so good. In fact, earnings are up quite a bit since the maintenance window.

Has anyone that received the email from Google seen any negative impacts yet? Has anyone seen any revenue changes, up or down, from today's maintenance?

The only thing I have received from Google lately was an adsense feedback survey. I filled it in and didn't give good marks. Since then my earnings dropped even further LOL

So I just found out I'm getting Smart Priced.... As someone just introduced to the term I can only conclude that smart price may have other names.... I call it something else, but I'd rather not offend Google, I still like them very much.

At a stretch, you could forward it to [e-mail] and see what they say

I think if you are "responsible" you would do that anyway, they don't reply of course.

I get between 3 - 7 a day purporting to come from Australian banks or PayPal and they're not all that hard to spot in MailWasher, I forward the source code along to the appropriate addy.

This information is used as a pooled effort by banks and other organisations world wide to put scammers out of business.

Shame we don't hear much about prosecutions.
