DS down this morning? No stats showing up for Dec.10 - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

Any idea why Dec.10 stats not showing up?

Thanks,

Same here. This isn't the first time I have noticed it happening in the early morning though.

Nope. There has been a recent announcement though. They are testing new page layouts/designs...that might be why. I'm not sure.

In my experience with DS, you just have to be patient. They usually straighten out the stats before the end of the day. Usually, all of the data is still on their servers, it is just a matter of getting it available to the account owners. In the few cases where they have lost data, they have always made an adjustment and paid or overpaid based on traffic/income for recent days.

Hi Wolf,

Sorry about all these technical issues. We have run into a few hic ups from the new release and because we continue to improve our product it is an endless effort. The stats are being worked on by the technical department today, they are making sure everything is working correctly. They should be updated very soon

yup they are working now but i think the visitors and revenue is really low ..anyhow i am least worried as I am sure they will do something to cover it up!

Has anyone seen any new layouts?

Stats are back up...optimization seems to be off though, there doesn't seem to be direct links on the landing pages.

Very interesting. I checked some of my pages, and you are right, the one-click links are gone. Instead, there are lots of categories, the most relevant ones plus what looks like others that are just higher paying. In my experience, DS is always looking for ways to improve the payout. If they are launching this, then DS probably tested it and found that it generates more revenue (and maybe keeps some of their search partners happier with respect to relevance and quality of the traffic).

Frankly, I have been a bit disappointed with the look and feel of the links DS was serving on my pages recently, although my disappointment was offset by the higher payouts

. In the long run, I believe that all PPC players benefit by having the best, most relevant PPC pages that the services can develop. I am sure that some day we will look back at the pages of today and laugh at them, as they are not that sophisticated. As the websurfing public gets more sophisticated, it will take more relevant and interesting pages to get them to click through to our good friends and partners, the advertisers.

I am more than convinced that since yesterday (Thursday) when DS started this whole new experiment, revenue in general (speaking for myself) has gone down by 25 to 40% for both days.

Not happy so far.

Hopefully they do something about it.

Thanks,

Not happy so far with what I have seen in my account since yesterday.

Hopefully they do something about it.

They will cover it up and it just seems they are working on getting payouts so a little bit patience and you will see in a couple of days how that changes..revenue was down for me yesterday but so far for today it is really really up!!

you will probably notice it in a couple of hours..

thanks

Ever since they removed the direct links I am making only 30% of what I was previously.
