Revenue Down 50%/Help

[discovernow]

My domain parking uses Yahoo Feeds and all of a sudden my revenue dropped 50% overnight about 1 week ago. Has anybody experienced this with Yahoo feeds and if so is their any reason behind it.

About a week ago Yahoo started blocking certain countries which they used to pay for. This affected all Yahoo partners. As far as I know most of the Yahoo based parking companies are sending that traffic elsewhere. So if you have a large percentage of traffic from countries that Yahoo will no longer pay for then you could be affected.

Don, is that second feed active yet on Parked or are we still directing to our chosen link..

 

[Donny Simonton]

The second feed is active, but it's not the permenant feed yet. You have two choices right now, if Yahoo doesn't want the traffic you can either have it go to our second feed and then if our second feed doesn't want it either to your Alternative Traffic Destination or you can have it skip our second feed and go directly to your ATD.

How do we know if Yahoo is accepting my traffic or not? Will it still show the visitor counts?

thx,

Yes, whether it goes to Yahoo or our secondary feed it still shows all of the hits, clicks, etc...
