Just recieved an email from Jonathan from

this is the guts of what his email was about
What Smart Pricing Seems to Like
================================
Smart pricing definitely loves themed websites. If your
websites is devoted to Widgets, and only Widgets, Smart
Pricing tends to reward your clicks better. The more
narrow your targetting, the better.
However, Smart Pricing does not seem to penalize sites
that have a group of related topics. So, for example,
if your site is themed around Widgets but has content
related to Red Widgets, Blue Widgets, Green Widgets,
Building Widgets and Used Widgets, Smart Pricing seems
to favor that.
If you have themed topics, it's appears to be best to
seperate them into subdomains or subdirectories. So
don't put your articles on Red and Green widgets where
they can be found like so:
http://www.mywidgets.com/redwidgets.html
http://www.mywidgets.com/greenwidgets.html
Put them like this:
http://www.mywidgets.com/redwidgets/
http://www.mywidgets.com/greenwidgets/
Or better still:
http://redwidgets.mywidgets.com/
http://greenwidgets.mywidgets.com/
In line with theming, having a domain name with your keywords
in it also appears to be favored by Smart Pricing. So the
"mywidgets.com" example used above is a good one. Having
a domain like "
www.someunrelatedsite.com" seems to draw
penalties from Smart Pricing.
So make your domain name match your theme, and split up
your content into related topics in different subdirectories
or subdomains.
What Smart Pricing Seems To Hate
================================
The opposite of what Smart Pricing likes, it hates. Having
too many topics on the same site really seems to draw
penalties.
from my stats, what he is suggesting is absolutely true..
Keep this in mind while creating a strategy for your sites.
