[wolfis.com]

i am getting 5 cents per click on us electronic traffic / 2 cents for rap music / 2 cents for cellphone clicks ect.

is namedrive skipping more off the top or is namedrive just trying to get rid of my domains ???

I think we are seeing a downturn in the entire industry. I know many people have had poor results with Adsense/YPN over the last few weeks as well.

Might just be a summer thing...might be something more serious and longer lasting.

My revenue is down too...

I think it's time to start training to go pro on the womens pro badminton league.



:ohwell:

[scorpio]

My revenue at ND is also down for last 4-5 days .

[DNjet]

summertime blues , nothing unusual, ppc is down accross the board, bids on ads are lower, traffic lower in most instances.

[Lambodoors]

consolidation in the PPC market is inevitable.

PPC advertising works, just that there are too many people finding a way to click on their own ads...

Last month of summer. People taking advantage of vacation time. Traffic down as well.

for rap music keyword, sedo pays the best. i think its almost 40 cent per click

Are you serious. Gee I was getting hard done by with 1 cent clicks with adsense.

Hi Wolfis,

There is certainly sign of a summer slow down. It is sadly the same every year and the brunt that we have to deal with in the PPC world. It is, of course, made better by strong September-Christmas.

Looking at your account for the first 13 days of August, taking into the summer slowdown, the results compare favourably with the previous months. Traffic is down 10% and PPC isn't as strong as June, but earnings are higher than any other previous month. I appreciate this is because names have been added, but looking at RPM - the indicator of the bigger picture, it is higher than in July and comparable with May and June. I know there is maybe a downturn at this time of year, but I hope it doesn't mean we stink...

Yeah, strange that Adsense (direct with Google) only pays 1 cent whereas sedo (also with Google) pay 40. :S

Yes, my revenue has gone down as well generally.

My revenue at NameDrive has been on a decline since the beginning of the month:

Last month:
lowest cpc - .07
month avg - .11

This month:
lowest cpc - .05
month avg - .08

[Andrew Shaw]

You will always see lower revenues as well as traffic in July and August. Just bare with it. Revenue will start to increase by the end of this month. Its not just Namedrive, its accross the board.

[dmyre]

I hope so. I haven't been with ND very long, but am very pleased with their customer relations...

interestingly, my july earnings were still quite ok (average pageviews and rpm).

While I'm geeting a decent amount of pageviews and pretty good ctr in August, something - or rather: a lot of money - is really going down the drain in terms of ppc.

Hope so. Keeping my fingers crossed. :playball:

I am just witnessing flactuating CTR and PPC. I dunno this summer might deal me a severe blow.

True. It's not just ND but all parking companies.
Even my adsense revenue is dropped too.
