What's with the orange colored stats?

[cyphix]

Just noticed that some of the stats figures are now shown in orange... what does this mean?

Also.... I'm certain my revenue drooped a few dollars from my total revenue for yesterday....... any ideas why? Any know bugs?

Thanks!

Noticed those too, they seem part of their stats reporting problems. My CPC revenue from yesterday was revised down also.

Dear valued TrafficZ clients:

As you have probably noticed by now, we've been busy upgrading our database and distribution servers to further increase back-end capacity, while also improving front-end redundancy. As a part of this new initiative, we've also implemented a new daily stats updating procedure. As of April 1, 2006, we've initiated a daily reconciliation of our estimated revenue calculations with Yahoo's domain level reporting. The real-time numbers that you see in your Domain Manager for revenues and CPCs are our best estimate of the revenue generated through your account. These estimated numbers are represented in orange in your Domain Manager. At the close of each day, our reporting servers wait for Yahoo's domain level reports to be made available, at which time they pull down, reconcile and verify the Yahoo domain level reports against our estimated figures. Once those revenue numbers have been reconciled, you will see the verified numbers represented in black in your Domain Manager. This new reconciliation procedure allows us to further reward our clients for delivering the good quality, high-converting traffic that our partners seek and their advertisers deserve.

As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process as we work hard to improve TrafficZ for you, our clients. Finally, stay tuned for many new and exciting developments over the coming weeks as we continue to add new features and functionality to our already best-in-class service. The best is going to get even better!

In the mean time, if you have any comments, questions or suggestions about this or any other matter, please feel free to contact us at any time.


Very truly yours,
the TrafficZ team

> I'm certain my revenue drooped a few dollars from my total revenue for yesterday

Happened again today. My income for yesterday (Wednesday) dropped from around $120 to around $90.

If the drops are going to be this big for certain types of portfolios, I think we could be informed why so that we can understand what is happening.

My portfolio maybe has a lot of a certain type of domain that is affected to a higher extent, whereas others may have domains that actually increase rather than reduce.

Does anyone have a trafficz account where their income for one day increases the next rather than drops? Or does everyones income drop?

If everyone's income is dropping, then I think an algorithm needs to fixed at trafficz so that we don't get these large negative adjustments. (Or maybe they are doing that today? My figures for today are very low)

My percentage drop seems to be around 25%

[getaddicted]

hmmm dotking its sad to hear ....

But for me its excatly opposite... For me it increases by 15 to 20% daily....

im happy lol.....

I'm sure you are the exception to the rule. Everyone that I have communicated with are down drastically.

Taking everything into consideration*, it appears that we will be down approx. 50%.

(* domains that should have optimized by now, domains added to the account over the past 15 & 30 days, etc.)

Ironically, our Goldkey revenue will only be down slightly for April. ?????
(They both use Yahoo.)

[dotNetKing]

Thanks for your input getaddicted and actnow

It would seem from input so far that almost all accounts show this characteristic of earnings being downgraded and that there is a smallish percentage that actually go up rather down when the adjustment is made.

[getaddicted]

hmmm I just would be the lucky one here...

But I wish and Hope TZ gets back to what it was before....

So everyones happy....

[jasdon11]

Mine went up from $19 to $49 for monday - nearly all of it from 1 domain. Ironically it hadn't had a click all month before then and I was going to try it at domainhop, but in 5 days they hadn't even put a page up for it so directed it back to TZ. This week has been my best by a huge margin.

[sm9766]

Currently, I am having same problem and also noticed there is almost 25% difference between "Domain Monthly Report" and "Daily Summary For".

Definitely, it shows less earning in the Domain Monthly Report page.

Also, I noticed there is a big bid drop too.

I hope all these problems will be solved as soon as possible.

[joejoe]

Yes, my numbers are way down this month and, since the advent of "the orange", go down 35-45% every morning, from the night before. I contacted Trafficz three weeks ago to explain the difference. They only said that the orange numbers are estimates and that the vendors decide at 2 or 3 a.m. every day, what to pay Trafficz. Yeah, right.

I said I want a real explanation and they said that they would get back to me. I have yet to hear from them.

I'm going to move my entire portfolio, if I cannot get an answer that makes sense.

[namestrands]

I have made many attempts to get an answer from Trafficz and to be honest they just dont seem to give a HOOT. So I pulled all my domains out, and they appear to be doing just as well with a new Parking Program.

It is a shame as I really once held them in high regard.

I would say now is a good time to move to another program, until they can sort out themselves out. Perhaps try again in 6 months.

Best of luck

[joejoe]

Where is everyone placing their domains, now that they are leaving Trafficz due to this month's downturn in profits?

[namestrands]

You can find this out for yourself here... Just today over 2000+ domains have been removed from trafficz onto other programs.. lookslike trafficclub gained most of the absconders

It's so frustrating to watch my daily revenue decreased! I wonder if the core issue is that MSN, doesn't use Oveture so the value that Yahoo has has decrease.

With a new traffic program MSN, advertisers need to decide where to put there money, so I suspect that Yahoo is getting a smaller piece of the pie.

Did anyone notice a radical decrease in revenue for 4/28?

I don't know if thats radical but, my revenue for the 28th decreased from ~150 to 84. It's been so since they started that "estimate" thing.

[namestrands]

I would not think that MSNs new program had anything to do with it as from an advertiser point of view I have not cut back on my advertising on Google, Yahoo or any other PPC program (I have also not noticed any reduction in Cost Per Click)

MSN is just another route to market, and while I am sure that it may have dented the overture revenue streams a little, it really is unlikely that this is the core cause of lower revenues.

The fact is that the market is not consistant, it should also be noted that April is the end of the tax year for many companies across the developed world and April/May is a time new budgets and campaigns are being developed.

A similar revenue drop happened around this time last year and it did not catch up again until August, this drop is happening across the other premier parking programs and even the lower end ones like sedo

We can all speculate as to why, and the reason this happens is lack of information and communication which will be there own undoing.

I would encourage all to test the markets of other parking programs or develop your high traffic domains, perhaps if enough people actually stood up and took action we would not be at the mercy of these programs.


if you do have a portfolio earning over $1000 a month then you should ask Trafficz for the higher 65% share.

my portforlio earn over $100 daily,sometimes near almost $200 daily.
But on April 28, the dayly revenue suddenly dropped to $3, I am quite satisfied with the revenue at trafficz, but this time I was confused.
Wish them fix the problem and be better.
I am not blaming them for one day revenue drop, I know they are updating their program on April 28th to make us get more revenue.
If they can not recover the normal revenue level, I guess they lost the traffic track data in the updation. As I always get nice revenue everyday, I can understand their one day low performance and afford the revenue lost.
But of course, wish they fix the problem give an explanation soon. Wish all of us get more money!
