The site gets 4600 visitors per day.

My Adsense income per click-through from this site has decreased steadily from 26.3 cents per click-through in January, 2006 to 12.6 cents per click-through in May, 2007. At the same time the percentage of click-throughs to page-views has increased from 0.9 to 1.3 percent, somewhat offsetting the loss of revenue due to the reduction of earnings per click-through.

Tracking the pages being visited suggests that the overall make-up of the typical visitor to my site has not changed over this period so I assume the changes in income are strickly caused by changes within the Adsense system.

I earn a modest $210 average per month from the site.

One curiousity is that the number of page views credited to the site by Adsense averages 25-percent less than the number of pages viewed as reported by my webhost.

The digital camera example was the one they gave when smart pricing was announced in 2005…

No kidding. Traffic up by 20%, earnings flat. I have been thinking about your ecommerce article more and more.
