Right there with you. I've started using the alternate traffic destination and primary only feature hoping this would kill the penny clicks. Good news is it sort of has, but my alternate traffic destinations aren't doing much better - domain sponsor, namedrive, direct to CPA offers.

What is really bothering me is the $.03/click average on the yahoo feed. This must be related to them dropping the minimum bids to $.05 cents. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Off to keep testing better ways to monetize my traffic.

Diversify your options.

Some domains perform better at Sedo, some do better at Parked. After the recent Google snafu at Sedo, I am doing just that.

The low price per click all depends on where you traffic is coming from. There is no way that I know of that Yahoo can pay $0.01 a click so I'm assuming that's some type of traffic that Yahoo doesn't accept. If you want to send me an example, I can verify it one way or the other. Just let me know the domain and the day. And the days data has to be finalized.

Hi, Donny

I just sent you an email with data on some $.01 clicks for 3/25/08 and 3/28/08 (finalized) after seeing this thread. Also had a $.02 click for 3/28 but didn't mention it. Sent the email to your admin address for your php domain you sometimes mention on the boards, the subject line shows "Re: DNF thread - 1 Cent Clicks." Would also be curious to know what happened...

Thanks.

If you take into account inflation, that's 1/2 cent in Bush currency

I'm not too pleased with my earnings for March compared to prior months, And my TQ score has been on the increase, fluctuating from 8 to 10.

I'd say this was the worst month I've had in a year.

The revenue from those countries has actually gone higher this month. Unless you have domains that Yahoo doesn't want and it's going to our secondary provider.

Never thought I would join in this negative press with Parked, but there is a definite downturn in revenue, Which is odd this close to the end of the Tax Year. History has shown that March and April have always been good months for PPC.

RPM is Higher, or equal. However CTR is at an all time low. Looks like it could be time to change the Parking Pages.. they appear to be getting hit with the White Noise Syndrome suffered by NameDrive and Sedo back in the Single Lander days.

Looks like a bit of a wind shift for Yahoo/Parked.

Customization is the key. Don't forget Yahoo dropped the arbitrage option. Namedrive is definitely the worst.

Tony - We have two systems, Yahoo and our new secondary system. Most people here who I have looked at aren't having problems with Yahoo, but with our secondary system. Ever since Ask lost their Google feed, many people are having problems with traffic that was going to our old Ask feed. And this isn't just us it's everybody.

We have increased the average RPC for our secondary feeds over 400% in the past month. But it's nowhere near where I want it to be, it just takes time. We are currently up to 18 providers in our secondary system now.

Any way of letting us know what countries Yahoo accepts as I can see almost 65% is going to our secondary provider. This is a Huge drop as it was a 80/20 split in Yahoos favor before.
