Unfortunately, smart pricing is not just affecting publisher’s earning on one AdSense site, it affects the entire
AdSense account. Regardless of the high performance of other AdSense sites across the AdSense account, if one of your AdSense sites is smart priced, all of your AdSense sites will be affected.

AdSense publishers are earning less because of the low eCPM. You could find AdSense publishers revealing their eCPM in a forum when their accounts have been smart priced. They normally have low eCPM ranging from $1.50 to $5. However, low eCPM does not necessary implied that your account has been smart priced. AdSense sites in lower earning niche generally have lower CPM.

What can AdSense publishers do to avoid being smart priced?

The best way to ensure your AdSense site is not affected by smart pricing is to create a good environment for advertisers and your readers. Creating compelling content for your targeted readers is as important as providing good user experience on your site. The more targeted traffic to your AdSense site, the better quality clicks for advertisers.

Some AdSense publishers maintain good quality AdSense sites as well as “less than quality” sites under a single AdSense
account. They are facing higher risk of getting their AdSense account smart priced because any of the “less than quality” AdSense site does not perform well could be smart priced easily. The increase in revenue of putting these “less than quality” websites could be less than the loss of revenue due to smart pricing on the entire AdSense account.

The smart pricing system should not only be viewed as a system to protect the interests of AdWord advertisers. It is
also a system that indirectly benefits quality AdSense sites in the long term. The smart pricing system could force some AdSense publishers to drop those ‘low quality’ sites. Perhaps with more quality sites, this could boost the advertisers’ confidence to advertise in Google content network. Hence, it will bring more competition for keywords. Eventually, AdSense publishers will benefit from the high paying keywords.

To withdraw your Google AdSense earnings via check, you need to set the payment details in your Google AdSense account. This is how you should do it:

1. Log in to your AdSense account and click the edit link near Payment Details.
2. Select Check – Standard Delivery radio button
3. Click continue
4. Select your local currency if it is available or you canselect US dollars.
5. Click save settings.

After you’ve done all these steps, you are all set and you can withdraw your AdSense earnings via check and start receiving your Google AdSense payment by postal mail. You may also choose to receive your Google AdSense payment through Secured Express Delivery. Using a Secured Express Delivery incurs a fee.

However you can receive your check faster than Standard Delivery. A Secured Express Delivery normally takes about
5-10 business days to be delivered to you. If you choose this option, you will need to contact DHL (the courier
service) to make sure they offer service to your area and that your address is in the proper format.

When Can You Withdraw Your AdSense Earnings?

Google AdSense pays you approximately 30 days after the end of the month in which you become eligible to receive Google AdSense payment. You become eligible for Google AdSense payment only when your AdSense earnings reach at least $100.00. For example, you started AdSense in January and at the end of the month you had not yet accumulated $100.00 in your Google AdSense account. You would then need to wait for the next Google AdSense payment date. If your January and February AdSense earnings combined is more than $100.00, you would be able to withdraw your Google AdSense earnings for February. You would be paid approximately 30 days after the end of the month of February. You could expect your Google AdSense check near the end of March.

Another good reason to use AdSense for Search is that you get to combine the AdSense for Search earnings with AdSense for Content earnings. If your combined AdSense earnings is more than $100.00 and even though your AdSense for Content earnings do not reach $100.00, you meet the payout minimum and you are eligible for payment.

Common Beginner Mistakes

Google AdSense Mistake #1:

Never Disclose Your Click Through Rate (CTR):

• My CTR is x%? Is it too high? Will Google banned me for this?
• I am making $x, 100 clicks out of 1000 impressions. What can I do to increase my AdSense earnings?
• I got 100 clicks out of 60? How is this possible?
• 10 clicks out of 60 impression but no earnings, why?

Well, if you spend enough time reading posts from the forum, most of the time you will find the answers to your questions. Most likely someone has already asked the same question as you. However, if you are looking for a quick answer, you should not disclose your actual CTR or other statistics relating to site performance provided by Google in your questions.

Google AdSense Mistake #2:

You must get your own website or blog ready before you apply for the Google AdSense program. If you do not have a website, you can register a web hosting package and get a domain at Godaddy.com.

Once your website is ready, you can apply for a Google AdSense account. Google has never publicly published details of its approval process. Here we provide you tips that you should follow to ensure a high possibility of getting your AdSense account approved.

Tips on Getting Your AdSense Account Approved

No one knows about Google approval process. In fact, no one knows how Google decides to accept or reject a site. However, one thing for sure – the main criterion for Google approval process is always the content of the website! Many sites got rejected because they didn’t provide enough or any good content at all. Those websites that consist of links that do not offer any informational content will also be rejected.

Google approval process approves websites that have significant real content. These could be in the form of articles, analyses of various topics, reviews and much more. If your website is solely focus on selling products and services, you could include informational articles about your products or your industry. You can also include reviews of your products.

Another reason why some business websites do not qualify for the program is that these businesses are in a very narrow niche market and the only Google AdSense ads they will get are from their niche market competitors. Competitor ads would be blocked by these businesses, filtered by Google, or both. So an AdSense program that serves no ads serve no purpose.

Similarly, website that focus only on links for generating search engine traffic do not provide any content at all. These sites may rack up fairly high traffic scores and so forth, but they do not qualify for AdSense.

One of the best and simplest strategies is to include at least 30 to 40 informational articles of 400 to 450 words on you website and update them from time to time. Writing these articles yourself may be a daunting task. However, the good news is that there are considerable websites that offer articles for free, and plenty of professional writing resources who can not only write high quality material for you, but can especially optimize that material to work well with search engines and the “qualification” processes for systems like AdSense.

Note
Google updates the AdSense policies regularly and you should read them before you submit your application to ensure a high possibility of getting your AdSense account approved. Please read the Google AdSense policies
