voodoo = black magic

[Gerry]

The magic of disappearing clicks and revenue continues at voodoo dot com. The word voodoo has long been associated with black magic or the dark arts.

I have watched day-in-and-day-out clicks mysteriously disappearing and lost revenue. Yesterday I had 12 clicks on one domain. Today, there is NO CLICKS showing and therefore, no revenue for that domain. Today, my total clicks are 2 for a grand total of $0.04 - again, nothing appears with the domain that had 12 clicks. In the past, I have been told countless tales of how this happens - including being told that the downstream advertiser refused to pay for the clicks. WTF??? Bewilderment and amazement...someone went to that site, traffic was driven to that site, searches and clicks were made at that site...yet the advertiser is refusing to pay for clicks? If an advertiser is refusing to pay for clicks, why are they still an advertiser in the network? Traffic to that site did not simply disappear. Clicks and searches on that site did not mysteriously disappear.

So I give up on the dark arts of voodoo and will be taking my portfolio elsewhere.

At this point, I do not care if my daily earned balance is 4 cents but I won't have the daily frustration of seeing cumulative totals for clicks magically dwindle to nothingness.

@Gerry

The black magic spell has been casted on your portfolio. In order to get better stars and planets movement which also related to you destiny, you better move away.

The name itself scares me.

Is parking doing well anywhere?

Doubtful. I just don't want to see clicks, searches, traffic, etc taken away from me on a daily basis.

I was reluctant to move my names back to sedo. I have been forwarding all the new gTLD's there.

The names I took off of Voodoo and moved to Sedo have been performing wonderfully since being there.

My current CTR is 23.92%, overall revenue is back in triple digits, and seems all clicks are being captured.

My best month out of ten months on Voodoo was a CTR of 12.10% and revenue remained in double digits.

They have the same concept, make more money with your domains.

I have several new gTLDs parked with sedo's premium MLS. No clicks so far.

Yeah, things are very bad at VooDoo if they are letting Sedo outperform them. Moved away from VooDoo a long time ago when I got 2K+ searches, 300+ clicks, and got $19... It was laughable...

Like someone else mentioned...when sedo is outperforming others, then something is definitely wrong.

Does he (they) offer parking? Willing to try.

I have one name that was zero clicks, zero earnings on voodoo that is suddenly getting this response at sedo in only four days for April:

298 132 17.05 USD 44.30 % 0.13 USD 57.23 USD

 

[Gerry]

45920529.44 USD44.66 %0.14 USD64.13 USD

Updated number through 8 days. NO coincidence, imo, that this name remains at zero in one venue to a consistent 44%+ CTR at another venue.

Had to give it at least a solid month parked at one (sedo) to properly assess.

For the month of May, this name managed to pull in over $181.00+ with a nearly 38% CTR since moving from voodoo...where it enjoyed a life living in $0.00 0% hell.
