Stats well down this month ?

NameDriver · 20-09-2006, 11:14:51 AM

Hmm. Interesting link. I wonder if Yahoo are using this to hide the fact that they were expecting PPC to drop across the board anyway.
They seem to me to have had very poor returns for advertisers for a long time - essentially allowing hundreds of clicks from a single IP on high-paying (e.g. finance and car) ads. This has led to massive, unchecked fraud on their system which will surely come back to haunt them. There is, clearly, a large amount of fraud on the Google system, but they seem to be way ahead of Yahoo in monitoring it. People have been saying for some time that Yahoo could be heading for a fall with their policies. I wouldn't have thought that a slowdown in the motor industry could lead to a general downward trend across their whole system unless they were expecting that anyway. Maybe Google were expecting this news and dropped their prices accordingly.
Conspiracy theories unite.

Yahoo shares fell 11%
Google shares fell 4%

That's a surprisingly big drop. A mini PPC market crash?

If you have zillions of hits you can partner direct with Yahoo.

Otherwise try parked.com ( Parked.com - What is Parked.com ) but be prepared to allow a couple of weeks for full optimization, which Yahoo do themselves manually for .UK domains at the moment.

I think skenzo use Yahoo too, but require 1 million uv/month, but you can try them through trafficclub.com or klickerz.com

As usual, some domains will perform better & some worse than with other services.

Well my stats are so so far down I was wondering if my domains were still working! Of course, I accept this is seasonal, I just haven't been in this game long enough to know just HOW seasonal it is!

My best months earnings was JULY.

August was 78% of JULY
September forecast is 53% of JULY

Is this in line with everyone else? These percentages are $ EARNINGS, not traffic stats.

Cheers!

We've seen a good upturn recently. Yesterday was our highest day on the system this month, so hopefully things are moving in the right direction...

Come one Christmas...

Hi Ed

How is the new Property page coming along, is it near to being released?

Thanks

I'm sitting opposite the designer now as he's mocking it up. It normally takes around 48 hours to get done, so I would expect by Monday or Tuesday.
Internet and shopping are ready to be put online by tech, so they should be up soonish too.
