    Re: Namedrive revenue drop over the past few mths.issit just me or same to all?

    Hi,

    It's difficult to say why the earnings have dropped. I've had a look at your account and it seems that you have a lot of Malaysian traffic. I'm not much of an expert on traffic from that region and I don't know much about the bid prices on keywords there. It is clear that the PPC on your domains has dropped from October to January and February doesn't seem to be picking up much. I can't really say whether this is because Google are paying us less for traffic from that region or because the bid prices are lower.
    I would imagine it is because the bid prices are lower. Why? From November, Yahoo started pulling out of markets where they had no chance against Google In all, they pulled out of over 30 markets, leaving Google to rule the roost. Naturally, with Google the only place for bidding, the prices have slumped, as many have mentioned with international traffic on Yahoo feeds.
    Without knowing much more about the market, I would suggest that this is why the PPC has dropped.

    i have been with them for around one year and had no luck with them to get more revenue. 1$ per month for 15 domains.

    Re: Namedrive revenue drop over the past few mths.issit just me or same to all?

    Mine has actually gone up with more traffic and with that more clicks. avg ctr is the same and avp ppc is roughly the same, but overall revenue has gone up. I have at least 1300 names there. I often take blocks of 10-20 names to other parking services and always bring them back. What I'm accustomed to getting 10cents to a dollar on I'll usually see half or less of that at every place ive sampled. At sedo I had almost 0 return on my regular revenue names which i find odd.

    Re: Namedrive revenue drop over the past few mths.issit just me or same to all?

    My total portfolio average revenue has steadily declined over the months.... from .12 in Oct. to .06 in March. This may not sound like much because it's only pennies, but on a % basis this translates to a whopping 50% drop. My traffic and clicks have more than doubled over that time, yet I am not seeing much benefit. Are PPC rates in general declining, or is a 50% drop normal?

    i don't trust any of these parking services. i have seen gross manipulation even after final updates. google, yahoo should open doors to medium to large portfolio holders.

    it is time domainers don't get cheated out of their investments.

    Yahoo's pulling out of the market, so more advertisers line up to bid on keywords on Google. This is supposed to make it more expensive.

    I'm sure some cant be trusted, but they need us and they need us in big numbers. Fudging the numbers will only lose potential revenue. They didnt get where they are now by luck. I get the feeling some are shady but for the most part I see them trying hard to get us the biggest return possible. Doing that gets so many referrals.
