I noticed a big drop in revenue right after Christmas, the 6 months before that all ending within a 1K margin, very steady and dependable, but since DS knocked the payout of the pops in half that knocked some off, and then the search results have steadily dropped and now I am make 30% less on search and it continues to drop,

spoke to my rep and he says its just changes that google made to results but I am not sure, this traffic has produced for years and to see this big a drop in only 4 months has me wondering,

For the first 2 and a half months of this year my revenue seemed to be down a little by say 15-20 percent but since around the middle of March my revenue has actually been up by about 25% as compared to last year.

Parked and Fabulous have both been doing well for my domains. I moved most of my domains away from DS a couple of months back.

There is an overall drop in PPC...and the trend now that school is out, is that kids are not in front of the computer. Every year at this time, there are fluctuations downward. DS payouts are not the best sometimes, but OVER ALL, they seem to be the best for my particualar portfolio. I also love their report system. That is huge for me when it comes time to renew a domain. I also get very, very good support, but maybe that is because I have Sam T as an account manager.

Most everyone is down compared to last year.

However, I'm more unhappy with DS compared to the others.

I just made a decision this weekend to move a lot of my domains out of DS.
I'll keep some there that do very well while I test the lower traffic elsewhere.

I use to see some surges on individual domains at Parked but that has
disappeared. I'm still occasionally seeing them at Trafficz.
I very rarely saw surges at DS.

I'm moving more towards FAB.
What do I have to lose?

I believe that DS isn't what it was. They used to have super high payouts for some niches and I think they had direct arrangements with advertisers in industries such as insurance and flowers. I wonder if these arrangements are not working as they used to.

I also imagine that that is at least part of the reason why they had to lay off some people.

11/10/2008 - My revenue decreased of over 70% in the latest months, I added dozens of new domains, I reinvested thousands of dollars (all my savings) to increase my portfolio volume and potential but I'm earning much less than in the near past, I'm risking to permanently stop my acquisition if I'll be unable to find a solution to my problem.
