You might have heard that Google introduced a feature called smart pricing to Adsense some time ago. Smart Pricing is supposed to punish websites that have a bad ctr by reducing the amount of money a click on the ads earns the webmaster. The most disturbing feature of smart pricing however is the fact that not only the ad units on that website are affected but all the sites in the account of the owner of the adsense id.
This means that if you have adsense on a big forum with a low ctr and bad feedback from advertisers your whole account might experience the effect of smart pricing. Everton from connected internet is trying an experiment and reduce poor performing ad units on his network of sites and monitor the results over the course of months. It will be interesting to see if there have been indeed changes to the better because of this.
