smartpricing problems?

My Adsense eCPM has been falling rapidly so naturally I blame smartpricing for this. I'd like to try out some different ad companies for a while to see if I get better results for the time being. Let's say I come back to Adsense a month later.

#1. Would Adsense keep the same smartpricing algorithm or start over?
#2. If they normally would start over, would they not because Analytics is giving them all the data they need about my visitors so as to keep the same eCPM?

AdSense plus Analytics is a total oxymoron

In my experience, neither are compatible.

AdSense Analytics is total BS and a waste of server space.

Anyone with meaningful statistics is receiving preferential treatment to me.

I have no idea what that last sentence even means.

I *love* seeing AdSense data in my Analytics. Now I can see which sites (and which types of sites) are sending me traffic that actually clicks on things. I've gotten some ideas on where I might want to advertise some products, and who I might want to sell advertising to. I can see which pages are bringing in the money, and which I lose (so I can get rid of some of my channels, which are in short supply) I can see which keywords are responsible for earnings.

If you aren't getting anything meaningful out of it, I'm sorry for you. But I think it's great.

Data returned by Analytics is 50% of the info provided by AdSense. Now if Analytics can't get revenue right how accurate is the rest?

I'm not talking once or twice but day in day out since way back when.
