It is not on a per page or per site basis. </p> </blockquote> <p>Which means you should be careful about where you stick your AdSense code, it could be counter productive and actually lose you money across your entire account if placed anywhere it performs poorly in the eyes of Smart Pricing.</p> en Copyright 2005 WebmasterBrain.com webmaster@webmasterbrain.com Wed, 06 Sep 2006 09:32:28 GMT Wed, 06 Sep 2006 09:32:28 GMT http://www.webmasterbrain.com/img/logo.gif http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/contextual-ads/adsense-smart-pricing-one-bad-placement-can-devalue-all-clicks/ http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/contextual-ads/adsense-smart-pricing-one-bad-placement-can-devalue-all-clicks/smart-pricing/ &lt;p&gt;Google has issued a statement on their blog to address all the smartpricing rumours but they do not specifically state that it is not account wide.
