Smart-pricing destroys arbi

[Jon12345]

Has Google won? I am getting rubbish eCPM on my Adsense so presume I am being smart-priced.

Any suggestions on an alternative to Adsense that pays well? I am UK based so don't qualify for YPN.

Thanks,

Jon

shut it down for a week.. I think smartpricing only lasts for a couple of days

Smart pricing lasts far longer than a few days

I've only been running my new arbi campaign for a week. It sucks!

Whats your average EPC? Should be above 20 cents in most cases.

I'm getting some niches where I might get 3 clicks and only 4 cents revenue.

Don't deliver crap traffic and you might not get smart-priced.

according to JenSense(google marketer & guru, shoemoney friend), smart pricing lasts a week.

here is her blog post on this matter:
One poorly converting site can "smart price" an entire AdSense account

If you are using Adwords to deliver traffic to your adsense arbitrage pages that might be the problem.

I use Overture for adsense arbitrage and Adwords for YPN arbitrage and have not had any problems sense I started using this method. When I was using Adwords for Adsense I also got hit.

really? Interesting that you drive opposites, heh.

how many niches are you in? one niche I tried 'Pokemon' really has much word ppc than i would have though- I was getting .01 cent/click w/ a high CTR of 80%+....

I thought I was smart priced too- but I still get good (.20-$1) clicks from my other niches.

Don't forget MSN adcenter.
