Hi guys,

I keep hearing the phrase smart pricing going around various sites and forums, essentially its believed that adsense is becoming aware of sites made around advertising, and thus giving a lower cost per click for those sites.

Is this something that you think is happening? or just a buzz word/phrase (like "web 2.0") used to sum something up that was probably already happening due to a lack of new and relevant content on these sites?

The main reason for me asking is a site I own, which I admit I purchased on the back of its adsense income, has had some drops in revenue, it was averaging between 12c-20c a click is now getting 5c?

Any advice, comments, opinions appreciated!
Thanks, Greg

I've heard of people's PPC dropping due to the smart pricing from Adsense. I don't have any experience with it, as I don't use Adsense. But I have heard from other publishers of it being true.
