Smart Pricing

[NickE83]

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone here could give me any hints on what smart pricing is exactly and how i can avoid it. I have heard that once you have been smartpriced once then all your pages with adsense on them will also be smart priced, does any one know if that is the case or just a rumour?
Any advice anyone can give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick :thumbsup:

Smart pricing is a google adsense / adwords feature, it is used for determining the cost of a click in content ads. Basically the cost of a single click is higher for the same keyword for sites whose visitors have higher probability of becoming a paid customer at the advertisers site. I've read that smart pricing calculations are made for the whole account instead of single site, but found no offcial word on it from google. Here's a google blog post about smart pricing : http://adsense.blogspot.com/2005/10/facts-about-smart-pricing.html

Just build a quality website with decent traffic.

As it mainly happens to teen forums or something similar to that.
