I've seen similar problems yesterday and today. Type-in domains still get credited for some clicks, but the search engine traffic burst seems to be over. RPM was down from the monthly average of $32 to $8. If things get straightened out soon their 15% offer for the month will cover it - but I agree that there are still some "issues" with Gold Key.

I had worst day yesterday with RPM aroung $3.
Today I have thousands of visitors on few hundred domains but almost "no clicks". How is that possible? I checked for robot visits and most domains don't show robot visit. Some thing is wrong in the stats. Anyone else have same problem?

I also hope they fix things soon.

Thanks.

Yesterday I had many thousand visitors for few hundred domains but RPM just 75 cents....How is that possible?

Stats count issues or ....?

I will wait couple more days before moving back....can not take huge losses for long.

Thanks.

I still have a lot of faith in GK. However, based on my results since they have fixed their hardware issues (I knew the hardware overload was temporary), it appears that a lot of the SEO magic that gave GoldKey such fantastic results has been greatly diminished. For that reason, I have downgraded my reported RPM at PPCIncome.com for GK to $45. I will need a few weeks of stable results to further confirm this.

At the same time, DomainSponsor 3.0 has boosted my results there, and I have raised my reported RPM on PPCIncome.com for DS to $45. I will need a few weeks of additional results and analysis to confirm this.

I emailed google questioning if my site would be banned if its on Gold Key, better to be sure, then not to be sure :p

Any response?

I value Google and am not willing to put all my eggs in MS or Yahoo baskets. I would ask three questions of progressive seriousness for my view of GoldKey and its relationship with Google --

1) Does (or will?) Google delist GoldKey sites?

2) Does (or will?) Google go beyond (1) delisting to actually ban sites that were GoldKey, even if they change to a non-GK content-rich site?

3) Does (or will?) Google go beyond (2) to penalize non-GoldKey sites with links to GoldKey sites?

Although I am sure there are multiple perspectives on the matter, I would view #2 or #3 as pretty extreme. Any evidence/answers? Thanks.

I don't see that happening, as I see them indexing my names all the time.

I sure hope you are right. Would you be willing to PM me or post an example or two so that I can see and track the depth of indexing? Were they indexed before GoldKey? Thanks. I am really concerned about this.

------------ second post automerged -------------------

I appreciate the PM, but believe that this issue deserves more investigation. Although GoldKey reports your site as being listed with Google, Google does not appear to list the site. I may be wrong here -- and hope I am -- but I remain very concerned about the response of Google to GK and would appreciate any other input/facts from others.
