I've seen a noticeable increase the last 2 days. Getting about 20 cents a click now, almost double the usual. Don't know why, maybe thanks to increasing content?

**robhustle** · 10-10-2006, 08:08 AM

I'm noticing the opposite. $0.01 per click right now. This is the lowest average I've had. Seems like it always happens at night, too. I'm probably being paranoid, the low payouts affecting my ability to be rational.

1 cent that really sucks. Must have been smartpriced.

Have you applied to the Yahoo Publisher Network? They pay much better.

**robhustle** · 10-10-2006, 05:07 PM

I have applied, but no word from them. I heard it takes a while.

**Capitalist** · 10-13-2006, 11:20 AM

I started off getting about 17 per click and now i'm getting 4

The main reason for this are those mfas. They have become outrageous. They pop out like crazy. I filter around 2-3 of them daily. The solution for them IMO is to keep filtering them out and to click their ads when you see them on other people's sites or Google search (of course, do not click ads on mfas themselves). If we all do this, we will hurt them and eventually bring them down.

Smartpricing sucks.

What is MFA?

Is anyone willing to share their Competitive Ad Filter lists?

**DronDron** · 10-15-2006, 01:01 PM

MFA is Made For AdSense. As far as ad filters, go to AdSense Black List, that's where people share what ad URLs don't pay much.

**Capitalist** · 10-15-2006, 03:54 PM

is there a free version of this list floating around

**lenz** · 10-15-2006, 05:44 PM

AdSenseBlacklist doesn't work anymore (or "yet").

**Capitalist** · 10-17-2006, 01:37 PM

mine are starting to get higher all of a sudden after suddenly dropping about 3 weeks back

**Conan Stevens** · 11-01-2006, 02:13 PM

Mine have taken a dive since I started 3 months ago, I was averaging about 60c a click sometimes with CTRs better than 1 in 10 - I was excited about hte possibility of more traffic. Now I have more traffic and the other day I got 5 clicks at 0c yes zero.

Thats what lead me to scramble through these forums trying to find an answer, if I can get back to the original rates I would be sitting quiet happy right now.

Though in my 3 months I have found that the values go down after the 28th of the month, until the 1st of the next month.

I get a drop in earnings per click. Can it be applied to smart pricing?

**Joseph Williams** · 11-05-2006, 06:22 PM

i have noticed my health sector sites have taken i big dive in the last week

**Conan Stevens** · 11-06-2006, 03:15 AM

I am glad to announce that whatever happened last week at my site has rectified and the 1c clicks have gone somewhere else. Back to a reasonable amount now, but not as good as when I started out

**ndaru** · 11-08-2006, 08:27 PM

My 200 filter list is full now. All MFAs.

**MonkeyBiz** · 11-08-2006, 11:26 PM

Yea MFAs are a pain in the ***.

**CliffordTana** · 11-09-2006, 03:03 AM

:-) Na... Good Luck you deserve it!!!!

**robhustle** · 11-09-2006, 10:16 PM

My adsense earnings are up significantly since this Anti-Arbitrage stuff went into effect. Not sure if there is a correlation, but all those 0.01 clicks are gone. It's good on the one hand... but on the other hand, all my adwords campaigns got suspended haha! Oh well, at least my adsense earnings are up.

**Conan Stevens** · 11-10-2006, 07:08 AM

With the MFA's blocked I get 1/2 the CTR, some areas now get no CTR at all, but earnings are double.
Though this is just 3 days now and I Am yet to go through manually and get rid of my niche specific ones
