I have noticed this by canceling my other traffic that I pay much much less for and having just the google traffic and I saw my gross dollars earned fall but my eCPM went much high. So when I add paid traffic through other venues other than google my eCPM drops even though I have more clicks relative to to increased traffic. So I know that the added traffic is not producing a lesser amount of click just that the added traffic seems to be judged by google adsense as being less worthy of paying as much for the click. If some one has any input on this please share with me, because I think I am losing it.
Also I noticed this drop in eCPM for the added traffic when I added google analytics to my site. Do you think google is using analytics for their own purposes on my website?
Agian to summarize I believe google is giving me less money for clicks made by traffic from an alternative venue and I would like to know if this could be possible and is that legal or is it discrimination? lol

[edit reason] See TOS [webmasterworld.com] [/edit]
If it carries on, they'll close the account.
and No, Google will not close your account if you are paying for traffic. Just ensure, you buy from reputed sources and do not indulge in click exchange schemes / link exchange schemes etc which are primarily focussed on adsense fraud. I suggest you read the TOS again.
Thanks again.
