I now place all scrapers, made for adsense directories and webmasters buying traffic on my blocklist. The bottom line $$ has gone up by 20%, and I think smartpricing has re-evaluated my site as a more profitable bit of real estate and shoved up the price it charges advertisers / give me per click.
There does happen to be a little someone named AdSenseAdvisor that WORKS FOR GOOGLE that posts here.
That aside, I'd say just build a quality site and update. Content is king and gearing everything to manipulate a system as fickle as AdSense seems stupid. Especially since it is going to be updated and changed regularly. What works today will likely backfire tommorrow.
The 2 photo reportages about them are only short time indexed in Google and just right now only in German, not jet translated to English.
They made in July more than $100
So the lesson is very simple
Do not trick around, just write about interesting things.
Brag on your trick to outsmart smartpricing.
The "trick", if there is one, is not to employ tricks, not to attempt to outsmart Google and never to brag about what works for you. So the premise of the question is flawed.
Now if the question had been posed as "share some of your stategies for maximising returns given smart pricing" that's a more interesting question - one which has been discussed at length multiple times but where there is always something new to learn. And it is not just semantics.
Lots of people waste lots of time looking for magic tricks that open the keys to a kingdom of AdSense riches. There aren't any, so it's a terrible waste of time. Well, if copious amounts of hard work and research, keeping up to date with the changes in the PPC world and reading, learning and experimenting are tricks then maybe there are, but I have a feeling they are not the ones being looked for.
Or go to the help section of the adsense site.
Personally I'd advise looking at the ads that actually appear, as the tool isn't overly accurate IMHO
