Thanks for any advice.

With this info, you should at least do as well at Fab as you will at Afternic. In the past I would have said, "GO for FAB", but with dismal March figures, I cannot answer as enthusiastically. But why not give it a try for a couple of days and share with us your experience?

I do not have the impression that Fab has any limitation on traffic source.

Each service has limits to areas they will pay for traffic based on their partnerships. I am not sure if fab accepts taiwanese traffic. But they seem to be doing well. Check out http://www.parkingincome.com/show.php for more info

Today, one of my domains at fabulous had this data for the day:

Clicks = 1
Earnings / Click = 0.51¢

If revenue sharing is 75%, then this means that the one click above was worth 0.68¢ to the advertiser. problem is, I don't know any PPC scheme that lets advertisers pay less than 1 cent per click. Does this mean that Fabulous has me on a 50% payout scheme? This would work out to advertiser cost of about 1 cent per click for the above example.

drmaximus · 03-11-2005, 03:20 PM

I was just a step away from making this conjecture. The huge fall in March earnings could possibly be a surreptitious reduction in commission payout. I am keeping watch.

Or it could be an increase in comission, to make up for the drop in bids after christmas. If u check overture many bids have dropped drastically after the holidays.

Hi 1rrr1, armstrong and drmaximus,

Thanks for your observations and queries regarding Fabulous.com. Let me try to answer them if I can...

Firstly 1rrr1...

At this point in time we do accept Taiwanese traffic although this may be subject to review.

Fabulous revenue share is based on revenue that we receive either from our own listings in ROAR/pageseeker or a revenue share from our 3rd party PPC suppliers - and this revenue share percentage can vary from supplier to supplier.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=43080

In the case of a ROAR/pageseeker listing you would receive 75% of the total bid by the advertiser.

In the case of a third party PPC feed you would receive 75% of the revenue that we receive from the third party supplier so you receive a percentage of a percentage.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for your support and the many positive postings that you have given Fabulous in the past.

I've had a look at your account as your earnings did seem somewhat volatile.

On initial investigation (I only went back to the beginning of this year) it would appear that you get the majority of your revenue from one .org domain.

Looking at the referrals for this domain shows that you get a significant amount of traffic from Google SERPS (possibly residual traffic from a former incarnation of the domain) rather than from type ins. I would suggest that the sudden rise and subsequent decline in revenue is based on this domain's ranking in the Google SERPS for various keyword terms which has probably changed during their index updates.

All your other domains seem to have fairly consistent month on month traffic and this is the only exception that I could find.

Feel free to email me directly I you would like me to go through things with you.

Cheers

After reading through this thread, I'll definitely take a look at Fab. I've been looking for a company with lower commissions and I may have found that place.

***armstrong*** · 03-13-2005, 08:10 PM

Thanks Andrew for that logical explanation.

That was cool & and nice to see from Fab.

drmaximus · 03-14-2005, 06:33 AM

I will have to go learn about what SERPS is exactly! But thanks for the suggestion of what's happening.

Hi drmaximus,
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=43080

Sorry - it's easy to lapse into jargon. SERP's = Seatch Engine Results Pages. Basically the results that you get when you type in a search query.

Hope that helps.

I have moved from sedo to fabulous.

Fabulous Customer Support is excellent. They make you feel that they care about you. They answer all your questions in a few hours. I feel better when i know who i am talking to, it makes me feel there is a friend who wants to help me, not only a customer represantative
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=43080

Fabulous clicks make more money than Sedo
Sedo s clicks make 0.03 to 0.10 generally
Fabulous s clicks make 0.22 to 0.40 generally

Fabulous domain statistics script works perfect. You see where the traffic is coming from and you see if the search engine spiders visited your site lately

you get a wholesale domain registration account, the cheapest i have ever used

Fabulous is fabulous !

Regards,
Ferman

As promised, here are the March statistics, which suggest that the fall in earnings greatly outweighs the fall in uniques and clicks. I can only think of two reasons: fall in the $/click ratio or increase in commission held. This holds true even if my traffic has fallen, SERPS or not. Quite disappointing.

If any of you guys are interested in reporting your stats at ParkingIncome.com let me know. We have quite a few domainers reporting now, and stats are really starting to show which keywords do better at which service.
