Ahhhh, I was wondering what that meant. Thanks very much.

My porn related domains did great during the downtime

How much did you get earn per click ?

 

[dherwan]

I noticed that last night, Says it's being updated. I'm sure it'll be available after the update.

Charley, it REALLY depends on the name...but on some Adult names around .20/click.

 

[Donny]

The traffic analysis won't be available until next week sometime.

Few q's
are we 100% sure clicks have been tracked 100%?
look at this

35
16 <- went down here
30
42
35
37


my clicks are pretty stable and never really drop like that ??

also what are they doing for the bonus from down time??

quote for an answer

 

[Donny]

I'm not 100% sure clicks are tracked correctly, I'm 300% sure as they are tracked by 3 different systems. But in the end if our providers only pay us for x clicks and we say we estimated x+10, you only will get paid for x. Can't pay you for something that was paid for.

Donny,why there is a big difference between RPC of the same keyword for a 1-click domain and 2-click domain??

hmm just kinda strange the day you guys go down my clicks got cut in half and every other day they are normal

 

[Donny]

1 click prices versus 2 click prices, interesting question. I know why there are different prices on Google when their is a 1 click versus 2 click, it's smartpricing, one has it and usually one doesn't. With Yahoo it's mainly based on the formula they use. When somebody searches for "car loans" they use one formula, but when you have a domain going 1 click with the same terms, RPC is usually a little higher because they use a different formula to determine who is the first, second, and other positions. In my opinion 1 click domains get more clicks but a lower RPC than 2 click domains. We own cameras.com and that's why it's a 2 click domain, but some 1 click domains do better than 2 click. It just depends on the market.

ChrisOA - I think that one day is what is called a Saturday. Your Saturday and Sunday numbers are lower than during the week as everybody's domains make less during the week (in most cases). On Monday when we were still down, your numbers were at the same level as normal. You would laugh if you looked at one of my accounts, one day $100, the next $2, the next $50, etc... I have 100% type-ins nothing else.

Hi Donny - thanks for all your helpfulness and patience. I'm learning a lot (still new to this)

I'm seeing my domains being picked up by Google, but in some cases, it's there with the www and some cases not. Is this an issue? It is for some of my developed sites (for which I use 301s and GWT preferred domain options to deal with)

Thanks -

 

[ZOX]

Donny, I never asked this, but can a 2-Click turn into a 1-Click by itself if it gains enough on Overture?

 

[Donny]

Of course it a domain over time can go from a 2 click to a 1 click and the other way as well. For example, my phpscripts.com was a 2 click just 2 weeks ago and now it's a 1 click domain. I didn't do anything on my end, it was some Yahoo magic that gave me a 1 click domain. It's a combination of the number of advertisers and the volume that make a domain go 1 click.

When are faster STAT updates coming Donny?
...
They still seem to update only around every hour or so...

** Parked.com downtime compensation **

Because the Parked.com site was down for 4 days, we decided to take all revenue that your domains generated during those 4 days and give everybody an extra 3% on top of what they generated. The payment will be made as an additional entry for the coming pay period.

Please let me or your account manager know if you have any questions.

************
SDX - Soon, we were going to drop it to every 30 minutes about an hour ago, but decided we would just wait until tomorrow. When we will either drop it to 30 minutes or 15 minutes depending on how the numbers are looking.

Anybody Else Having Trouble With Reports?

My dashboard updates just fine, but the domain detail report seems stuck. Anybody else experiencing this?

 

[Donny]

It all looks fine to me, but if somebody has an example, I'll be more than happy to look at it.

Donny

 

[msingley]

Hey Donny....I thought you'd be catching up on your sleep!!

The "problem" I'm experiencing is that when the last stat update occurred, the numbers on the dashboard updated, but when i clicked on the date link to see the domains themselves, those numbers had not updated. This happened earlier tonight, too, but the numbers updated about 10 minutes after the dashboard. This time around, its been over half an hour. Go figure, huh?

Marty

 

[Donny]

Marty,
As we were preparing to turn stats on running every 30 minutes or 15 minutes we decided to change something today. What happened is that even though the stats were processing fine, some of the reports showed stats that were one period behind. So we fixed it just now. Thanks for letting us know.
