I knew the keywords for my domain wouldn't gain huge amounts of money but..

This month:

4 visitors and 4 clicks for a whopping $0.04!!!
I don't know whether to :lol:, :upset:, or :cry:
 
draggar - It really depends more on where the traffic is coming from than anything. :)

I have a domain that I own that gets traffic from two places, the UK and Pakistan. In the UK I make about $0.85 per click, in Pakistan about $0.02. There just aren't many/any advertisers for my keyword.

Its an English based keyword and when I had a site on the domain the traffic came from the US, Canada, and the UK (mostly - some from France, Belgium, and Germany).

Eh, maybe this will be the kick in the rear to redevelop this site. :D

I do have some "developed" sites that would probabaly pull very similar keyworded ads form AdSense and I'm only making $0.10 - $1 a click so this is consistent with what I'm making from the sites.

Edit: I just checked my AdSense and from one click there I got $0.01. :lol: Maybe I need to find a new niche.:smilewinkgrin::sigh2::smilewinkgrin:

That works out to a RPM of $40. I would be thrilled to have that for any of my parked domains. Just need more traffic.
 
draggar - I just checked and all of your clicks have been from Phillipines or Virgin Islands.

You're still ahead of me. One of my Parked.com domains was showing 4 clicks for 77 cents yesterday, but today's stats show that those clicks were removed - I guess they must have been identified as fraudulent or something. So that's an RPC of 0. :sigh2:
 
Someone in another thread got a click worth $20+, parked has some of the best payouts on the Internet. It really all depends on who is clicking what...nobody ever complains when the click is higher than they expected ;)

Thanx - do we get access to this information? The locations are odd but I can see that.

BTW - don't worry, I'm not blaming Parked.com. I know my domain keywords are not the highest paying out there, in fact, very far from it.

heh, "Darnit, I'm getting $20 a click, I only wanted $1!! This is so true.

I had another click from a developed site - another penny. :lol:
 
and results for sat are even worse than the weekend before - the worst results EVER - something really fishy going on here - well over 25 % less than the day before - pretty soon we will have to pay parked and yahoo to display yahoo's ads on our domains !!

i will soon start moving domains every friday night away and moving them back on sunday morning , because this is totally crazy and of course no explanation on how a $ xxx drop from one day to another can happen ( actually it is over $ xxx lower than the daily average of the past 3 month ) second weekend in a row this happens - so i assume parked ( or better said yahoo so not pay anything anymore on weekends )
 
Agree Wolfis, I just had my worst day(s) going back as far as I remember. To compound matters I had a name with very rare $8 clicks but they were finalized at just $1.

Many other recent days are also extremely low even though my traffic remains high and also very good quality, at least IMO. Something odd appears to be happening. I even predict the worlds strongest supporter Focus will see his revenue declining big time too and soon. Makes no sense why he is doing so well?
