    What domain are you talking about, and I can tell you. In 99% of the cases if we don't filter it out within an hour of the click that it's probably Yahoo didn't count it. And it's usually very easy to tell why they count it.

    Thumbs down Re: where the clicks go?

    I am a victim of this too. Seems like some thing fishy, 20-30 clicks are wiped off my report some time after midnight. I go to bed with 30-40 clicks and wake up with 10 clicks, rest vanished magically with out a reason or explination. Some of my domains have non-US traffic, but some do have a good US base with good CTR and all that goes up in smoke every night. I am trying out TrafficClub and so far they have been consistent, I think its time to move on. Ironically, Parked.com cutomer service spends more time on DNForum than looking through their tickets list. This sucks... I have been with parked for a week and I have seen enough misery, adios.

    Having used TrafficClub also myself I would be amazed if they pay you more than Parked.com.

    Every day there is always some adjustment when the final figures are received from Yahoo and this is to be expected, no matter what provider you use. The difference at the others is that they dont give credit for the clicks in the first place!

    I would consider giving parked.com a longer test if i was you.

    cheers.

    Damn, I didn't know anybody was being a victim here. Since I have no idea who you are based on your DNForum username, I'll see what I can do. The stats we provide to you on a daily basis are an estimate. If you would like I could always remove the estimate from your stats and only show you numbers when they are completed. But personally I like the estimated system, it's not 100% accurate, but it's getting better everyday.

    If your numbers changed during the night that is probably because Yahoo didn't like something about your traffic, but we did. Without knowing anything about your traffic or who you are, I'm assuming it's fraud of sometype and they didn't pay for it.

    I always recommend testing out as many different providers as possible. Monty has a very good service with TrafficClub.

    Please don't call me customer service, I manage 15 programmers, Parked.com and our domain registrars. But if you want to call me customer service, go for it.

    Knowing the facts make things much easier to understand.

    Re: where the clicks go?

    I feel that what is most important is whether you are getting more revenue out of the domain compared to your previous parking provider. At the end of the day the number of clicks are just secondary statistics.

    Yes thats the point I am trying to make, From my experience with others sedo is the crap of the crop, I cant think of anyone that pays less than them and at first look Parked.com seemed like the best of all but then again at the end of the day things fizzed off. The so called estimates on Parked.com are about twice that of the TrafficClub (DS Optimized), but too bad they end up to be 25% of of TrafficClub when the overnight flushing is done. Other than that Parked.Com has kick ass landers and ultimate customization and that was the selling point for me (Donny, I gotta admit you have a good development team but I still stand by my earlier note that the customer service is terrible ). Trafficclub sucks in that aspect, however their DS Optimized reports are never adjusted (trimmed), I mean at the end of day what I see is what I get paid for. I read about people having the same "adjustments" for skenzo pages on Trafficclub.
    I am not putting the blame squarely on Parked, from what Donny says Yahoo is ripping us off and sadly there is no accountability. I think to be successful parked needs to crack the whip a little harder with Yahoo.
    Oh, well I guess there has been enough whining already, sorry about that, hope our experiences help others as we all pursue the same moola...
    good luck and peace

    donny, just a word of advice, could you make sure info about yahoo adjusting stats is included in FAQ's in your site. I guess people would not be so upset if they know what to expect.

    Re: where the clicks go?

    i have close to every day missing clicks - you just have to get used to it or else - in my case i am much more worried about the click through which really sticks and i contacted parked via pm and also my account manger , but so far there has been no improvement click through % and RPM is the lowest of any ppc service i have ever seen .

    Re: where the clicks go?

    I have this one name MP3Liste.net that I did not realise how much traffic it had till I parked it at Parked, and it has been earning a few dollars since, but I am wondering what country the traffic is from, and are some of the clicks getting removed by Yahoo cause of what country it is from? The ctr is right now 13.49% average. (667 UV / 90 clicks) if that is the case, I wonder if it would be better at a google based company.

    Edit: I was told it is all from Turkey.

    Re: where the clicks go?

    Actually I wanted to contact Donny regarding the same issue, but found this thread. Throughout the day my CTR is 45% but after the adjustment it is 23%, which makes my revenue almost half. As far as there is nothing we can do because Yahoo does not count the click, maybe there are some countries they do not accept the traffic from and Parked.com could give us a list, so we can use geo-targeting to redirect traffic from specific countries to other providers.
    I love domains.

    Re: where the clicks go?

    I recommended that people not send traffic that is based from China, Turkey, and India. Yahoo sometimes pays for that type of traffic and sometimes they don't. I have not heard of any problems with traffic the country of Africa.
