Donny Donnie Don whats up with Parked?

[StrictlyNames]

See but here's the thing...on what basis do they gauge your TQ score? This is the needle in the haystack...a valid visitor from the USA is a valid visitor from the USA..if they click on an ad for real then what goes on beyond that point is not my damn concern or I would be doing affiliate programs and CPA deals..this is not PPC and what Google and Yahoo are turning this into is the opposite..

I agree, but we are at their mercy

where are the updates?...and what's going on???

Posted by Donny on the other forum:

Ask still hasn't finalized yet. I just sent them an email, since they didn't answer my call. Once they tell me they are available, I'll run them myself if I have to.

1/7/08 stats final??....WTF....RPC down $1.21??? from non-final stats???......what's going on??

 

[whitebark]

01/07 finalized up nicely for me - thanks Donny and crew.

 

[tonyfloyd]

Why is RPC dropping so much once #'s are finalized??....This has been happening everyday this year....what's going on??.....Is this normal for January???...or to be expected??

 

[maroulis]

there's SOMETHING Seriously wrong w/Parked.. Finalized stats for same domains compared to even the slowest month of Dec are WORSE....

let me add some data,

8/1 - before adjustment + after adjustment (RPC $0.17 to $0.07)
Before $27.69 16.67% $0.17
After $10.54 15.59% $0.07

7/1 - before adjustment + after adjustment (RPC $0.13 to $0.11)
Before $27.37 21.15% $0.13
After $23.85 21.15% $0.11

Meanwhile my Dec AVG are RPC $0.14 / RPM $56.94)

Yesterday was one of the worst day I have had with parked since joining...I am getting nervous...

 

[INVIGOR]

There is just no sure shot! Yesterday was THE best day I've ever had at Parked

 

[boziffous]

The finalized numbers on 1/7/08 increased by about 2.5 times for me and was my best day at Parked in a little over 4 months.

Traffic seems to have decreased on my domains since the 4th and the CTR% has been a little lower as well but the RPC has actually increased for my domains.

It's odd indeed. Yesterday's update saw my finalized earnings almost double the estimate, that was a nice surprise! Yet so many others are seeing major declines. :sigh2:

 

[Zaan]

Yes, I thought the huge increase in traffic was a good thing, but in the end, after finalization, it seems RPM just keeps going down....down....down. I am getting nervous also.

it seams like as more domains you add , the less you make per day - really strange - my daily results are getting less and less since the mid of dec. - hoping this will change when my account manager comes back from vacation.

That is how it is at Adsense and elsewhere too. I know this seems far-fetched but the more domains you add appears to make the income decline. Have noticed that oddity for several years. Conversely, if you take names away the incomeseems to improve.

To put into final form; complete or conclude.

Finalization of stats does NOT mean you can reduce the numbers later... They should mean FINAL... Why are we using asterisks if the numbers are subject to change AFTER the asterisks are removed? It defeats the purpose.

who said anything about the numbers changing after they are finalized?

Please read post #31

Stats on certain domains changed with the revenue dropping AFTER stats were finalized, (after the asterick was removed)

* All stats with an asterisk are estimates until we receive the final revenue numbers from our providers.

The * is the key LOL

Raider ...I saw that happen the other day too..it was like stats were still being done and you may have caught the numbers in the middle of being adjusted, had it went up obviously it would have been a good thing but the update would have been lower anyways obviously for that day....strange things do happen when you sit there and click refresh over and over on the stats page. I'm thinking about just not looking til' the end of the month and getting over the stats watching addiction, it's just too much of an emotional roller coaster since it involves money..lol Overall, I know Donny is gonna take care of us...whats low today will be up tommorrow so just keep your head up and roll with the waves of the ppc market because the surf is just getting good!

 

[Donny Simonton]

When I saw the people talking about finalized stats changing after the * was removed I talked to our stats guy about it and we both looked at the code to see how that could happen. Or if it could happen. We didn't see how it was possible except that in one or two cases if you were refreshing the page at the same time that it was updating your account.

As far as the overall problem that some of you are seeing, I personally think Yahoo changed something with their TQ system. Everybody still has similiar TQ scores as before, but something just isn't adding up. Yahoo is technically supposed to come out with new scores today so I think everything should settle down tomorrow. But all we can do is wait and see.

[tonyfloyd]

is this how it's gonna be for 2008?????.....7:15 PM and still no updates from prior day?????.........cmon.....wtf is going on??

 

[miraculix123]

I didn`t recognize that the final numbers are changing after the * removed at parked.com

But I saw the same at my account by an other parking company with yahoo feed at January 8th.
