new drop/change in CPCs?

[Theo]

A domain that made $10 yesterday, made $1 today. That's how much PPC fluctuates.

Sedocouk your answer is an insult to our intelligence.

All I need to do is go to Domain Paking (Old) / All months to see a nice graph that tells me my revenue has been slashed.

You could have said that the new feed benefits some and not others, like google did when their new "smart pricing" adsense feed adversely affected countless publishers.

[more on that later, I am convinced there is a corolation]

But to come out and say we are delusional or can't read figures is simply outrageous.

It's interesting that the price of Yahoo stock - the new feed provider - dropped significantly around the same time.

The feed is still google, you can see it if you use Firefox or if you right click and save shortcut in IE.

sedo is just getting worse - just like namedrive ,klickerz and fabulous !

THEY ALL STINK !!!!

You forgot TZ ? Revenue down more than 50% ! First I scare that TZ got problem , now I understand that the problem is for all parking site .

You should be aware the ppc decline seeems to be industry wide and not limited to Sedo, Namedrive, TrafficZ, etc. I do not use parked pages much but can tell you from first hand experience my YPN and Adsense stats are also down over the past few months, with a steeper decline ongoing over the last couple weeks.

Since Google and Yahoo are supplying the ads to most of the parking firms the net result is obvious.

P.S. The first days of Oct have been about the poorest 8 days in a row I ever recall seeing going back more than 3-years. With that in mind, I doubt the parking firms are the problem as the main issue is more than likely elsewhere.

The fluctuations with Sedo are unheard of. I've had clicks for as much as $4.96 one day, down to $0.18 the next. The variations seem to follow a new model that suits both the PPC companies and the feed providers. Welcome to the new yo-yo economy where more money is made as long as you hold both the pie and the knife.

Such wide variations are not surprising with the Google or Yahoo feeds since it depends on which keywords are clicked on. I know of clicks ranging from more than $9 to as low as .20c on the same website within days of each other based on what keyword ads were clicked.

True - however, my data is comparing before/after the feeds were changed on August 18th.

You should ask Sedo if the reason is related to the date.
