DS Auto-optimization

gnie · Jan 1, 2005

I like to know how the auto-optimization is working since 9th Dec 2004.
I belive that auto-optimization is working on the Direct Link landing pages.
Am I right?

:-( It worked so well for me that I had to go back to Sedo. :-(
My domains were doing pretty good until they made their changes. Maybe this PPC method that Afternic is going to use will work better. d

Ermmm... I haven't said anything yet since it has been the holidays....but the first week of them changing to the new landing pages my revenue jumped very nicely, some domains did worse, some did better... but overall my bottom line was looking better..... HOWEVER... things seem to have gone to the crappa lately.... worst things have been in a LONG time! Hopefully things will start to pick up now that the holidays are over with!

Looks like 20% revenue is dropped since new landing page.
But during the last 3 days, it came back again

Today appears to be a good day so far.

Lets see a week or so before evaluating the new landing pages especially that holidays are over now.

Good point. Holiday income is usually poor on all of my names, no matter what PPC service I am using. My DS results for today were real good. My DS results for December were below expectations by around 6%, but then that could be due to a lot of factors.

In any case, 2005 should be a great year for everyone who has quality traffic to sell

Happy New Year

Well I'm happy to report yesterday (3rd) was a MUCH better day @ DS!

Seems like the end of the holidays season slump, the last 2 days have been pretty good. 10% up on the 3rd and 24% up on the 4th.

Looks like it's going to be a good year.

My revenues were spotty during December, with some jump on the weekends, but within the past three days my revenue has remained consistently high -- even though they were weekdays. I am anxious to see how they do this weekend.

I'm seeing exactly the same thing. It's like someone flipped a switch this past weekend. Sunday was pretty good for a Sunday, and Monday and Tuesday were the best days I've had since the layout change. I hope this isn't a fluke.

hmm, mine are not quite up to what they were earning before the holiday slow down and the DS optimization. This isn't looking good for me. :worried:

I was just starting to feel better after all kind of problems last month such as new landing pages, holidays, stats problems, etc.

Revenue was good and consistent since January 1 until yesterday.

But my DS revenue has suddenly decresed 40% today as compared to last few days.

Its a HUGE decline in revenue while the uniques are same as before.

Did DS change anything again?

I will wait til tommorow before contacting DS.

Just wondering if its just me or others have the same drop also!

eSology · Jan 6, 2005

Stats were ok before but the problem came in last 3 hours as I have noticed also. But Nice folks @ DS will get to it and will make sure the stats are corrected. They always do that.

Thanks,
