Thread: Your guess on smart pricing, per account or per site

If it is from not so popular area, where is a little competition. Clicks will be cheap. There is no point paying $0.5/click if you are the only one who wants ads.

If a publisher's content consistently produces good results for AdWords advertisers, smart pricing will not hurt him.

You can see estimated click pricing for advertisers using the Google AdWords Keyword Tool.

I see only search estimates there...

You need to add the CPC column after you do a search. There's a drop-down entitled "Choose columns to be displayed"; click there then choose "Show Estimated Avg CPC".

I had this problem which started early last week...

I let it go but could not face looking at my earning over 70% less than normal so i sent off a email to the big G.

I never got a reply but within 24hours.... guess what?

My earnings are back to normal!

I never got a reply back yet.. but its been 48hours and everything is as it was weeks ago.

That might be telling you to pick a new niche.

Maybe. But this site of mine dont need any updates or work.
There is no need for new content, nothing. I am building one more in similar niche so I hope they two together will bring at least 5$ daily from over 150 clicks

InsideAdSense did a follow-up article, The facts about smart pricing, which is also worth reading.
