Hi Everton, I checked my all time stats and with the sites that had a low ctr I deleted. Thats right deleted. Wasting space anyway on my server. Since then I have not noticed any difference in the cpc so I am now looking into the competitive ad filter. It is my guess that is the first place to start.

It'd be nicer if someone had the answer though!

Everton I have the same problem this month, same difference in ECPM for ghacks. I have not found a reason for this other than the possible reason that sometimes I get worse ad feeds from google.

It also is affected by which ads are clicked on by the users which can make a difference as well. Don't think you can influence this though.

It's hard to tell though Ajay as my rates fluctuate so much. E.g for my best day this month (yesterday in fact) my eCPM was $8 better than my worst day.

Admittedly, that day was awful for some reason, but the spread between my good and bad days is still $4-5. I really wish I understood what was driving the eCPM on my good days so I could be more consistent!

Well Smart Pricing affects all sites under an Adsense account even though only one site might have activated it. This is a pretty stupid ruling by Google.

Smart Pricing normally drops the price per click to some cents the most, if that is not the case here you should not be worried.
