Is your SEDO .mobi traffic also down so far this month?

4th Jan 2008

Total.mobiDomains 35
Traffic : 4 hits

The last 5-6 months I was already up to 60-70 hits for the first 4 days. Anyone else have a drop?

Down to zero - it started in early December and has not recovered. With the pathetically low ctr they had anyways it's no loss to me, but you have to wonder as some have suggested, if much of the traffic to parked mobi domains was just other domainers checking things out, and with the passage of time that has subsided.

I have seen a slight drop. Around 10-15%. But I have received some increased click throughs which are up about 20%.
I'm not too worried about the fluctuations at this point. I am however glad to see some additional clicks.

My traffic is off a bit but on a more positive note I got by far the highest pay for click through at namedrive I have ever gotten off a mobi yesterday ($4.51 at steering.mobi)

I can't speak for Sedo. I have my parked ones at namedrive.
December: 206 hits / 36 clicks
Jan (so far) 57 hits / 6 clicks

Looks like I'll be doing better than Dec if these numbers continue. Not saying I'm happy or getting rich, but it beats a big ol' lump of nothing!

$4.51 for 1 click sounds pretty good :-)

Regarding the traffic drop in December, does this look like a familiar pattern?

This may have something to do with it, from Sedo Latest News:

Sedo improves traffic reporting to ensure better RPM
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=414196
Sedo has improved its traffic reporting, by adjusting the way it counts spam views caused by various user agents (eg. Bots). Previously, the views in clients' statistics included all these agent visits. However, as such traffic does not click, the CTR and RPM of clients' accounts was affected.

By improving the reporting of bot and other user agent traffic, Sedo clients will benefit from improved CTR and RPM values as "spam" traffic is filtered out. Please note that this may result in fewer views for some of your domains but the statistics will likely show improved conversion and RPM values.

If you have any questions about user agent traffic, please contact us.

Yeah I couldn't believe the payout on that one. There are rental car ads up so I am guessing they got a contract out of it which leads me to think car rental might be a good mobi site. You pattern looks like mine and I am guessing a result of the holidays.
