Huge drop in traffic stats - 50% drop???

[Donny Simonton]

Zaan - Since I still had your numbers up from our talk last Friday, those numbers seem really far off, unless you have a second account. Or you are talking about revenue - expenses.

Some of my domains getting constantly 100 UV/day on average are now getting approx. 10 - 15 UV/day for the past few days. Strange ...

I just went through a number of my domains that were consistently on the first page of google - they are all dropped off. No wonder they are now performing so poorly. The only ones that haven't are the darn porn related ones! LOL

They are still in the index, but all read /spidertrap.php or click.php?clickfraud=1

As more get spidered and re-indexed like this I can only surmise the traffic will go with it.

Even my portfolio on Skenzo drop 50% down; from Wednesday, September 12, 2007 the traffic drop from 10k to 5k /day but the earnings seems to be the same...i don't think is a Google search engine problem because even the type-in /typo portfolio do the same...

I wonder if there was a problem with stats, obviously it's almost all of us....maybe it was Yahoo's payout that day?

Everybody needs to remember it's football season now, so Saturday and Sunday will be lower than normal. We were up overall this Sunday about 2% higher than the previous Sunday. But we were lower this Saturday than last.

Now I am lucky if i bring in $150/day.

Poor baby...

Check how your domains are listed in google - that has to be leading to a traffic down-turn for many.

Thank you for keeping us informed, Donny.

The "spidertrap.php" domains are now being dropped. Could you say if this source of traffic (google listings) has become permanently defunct or is Parked doing something to re-index those domains?

I have a system that I follow to make sure that my revenue only goes up.

hey, care to share that?? :shy:

... i have been with parked for exactly 1 month today. I have looked up my names on google to see that they are also indexed as spider.php now. this is interesting as till now none of my domains had ever been indexed at all, being all new regs, and ..to my knowledge there is no way for a new reg to be indexed by a search engine .. thus i have to assume when you are all talking about your names having been indexed in google and having top search result ranking etc... these were names that were already indexed before you aquired them, (expired with backlinks) or else you developed and then parked them .. right? just making sure.

possibly this google error will help me as now my names seem to all be indexed? or will they drop from google again?

last question: I know that linking to my parked pages is against TOC. can i link to them just long enough to get them crawled and indexed and then drop the links? just wondering. this is possibly a stupid question lol but i'm not sure.

With Parked even if it's a new reg a lot of times it still will get listed with Google and sometimes will get pretty high search rankings as well with proper SEO.

 

[Focus]

Um...how is everyone else's rev & numbers going?

 

[boziffous]

The past 6 days (going off of finalized stats) compared to the previous 2 months has seen a pretty significant decrease for me.

For my non-adult domains my RPM is down 39.63% and the CTR% has gone from 57.58% down to 42.77%.

For my adult domains my RPM is down 35.92% and the CTR% has gone from 65.54% down to 39.9%.

My traffic seems to have decreased a little as well so overall my revenue seems to have been cut just over half. :worried:

How about you Focus, what are you seeing with your stats?

Guys, something is up.

I know this is a Parked thread, but I am experiencing big drops at Sedo. Have been since about a week now. Two days this week I have not hit double digits in revenue which is unheard of.

 

[lajan]

same here about 40%-50% drop . anyway we should understand that running a company has its ups and down. let's give parked.com people the time to fix this issue. patience .

Anyway, if somebody could tell me how to get my sites indexed in Google I'd appreciate . FOCUS, you said you were indexed on first page of google with a new domain you hosted with parked.com, still wondering how you did this ?:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Donny Simonton]

I think everybody got affected by this mystery "Google" bug as I've talked to a few other parking companies and they experienced the same problem.

Make sure you have optimized your domains that you have with Parked by putting in a title, description, and keywords and lots of times they will get indexed by Google in around 10-14 days.
