By the way I am not complaining at all. Usually I earned $130 per day. But then the last 2 days earning just jump to $170.

It reach $130 on the end of the day, then after a while, poof, it's $170.

I am not in trouble am I not?

Hey congrats teguh123. That's great income. What's your secret? Err.. how many domains does it take to produce that much income? What do you think about keywords? Do you use them? what do you think of Matt's comments that the are pretty much useless?

Revenue is declining... :(

I hope this is not something that we will need to get used to in upcoming months.

Adios,
:wave:

Well sometimes there are days, weeks, or months where it hits lows. But typically it recovers. I see all time high right now, but then again that is across the board so it is hard to say.

Usually we only get feedback from users that see a drop in revenue. We rarely get a user notify me or support because their revenue is too high. :)

One of the challenges is that our upstream provider tunes algorithms on what ads to match to the domain. And furthermore, to complicate the situation, it is all based on country and each country may have a different department that tunes it based on their knowledge.

So sometimes there are months where CTR is low but CPC is high. Other months, CPC is low, CTR is high. They also average conversion into the equation, and ofcourse they tune across the board, that means one portfolio may go down 20%, another may be up 30%. These numbers are exaggerations, but sometimes a 2% increase across the board might mean a 50% decrease on some user's portfolio.

And to top it off, I have no access to any of this, and do not get ANY updates.

A few months ago our upstream provider has made an update once where USA advertisers that opt in to advertise "globally" would no longer show up in China. That day and to present, the Chinese revenue dropped 20-30%. I didn't know about it. I asked my upstream provider, even they didn't know about it. With a workforce of I think over 20,000, it is pretty hard for everyone in the company to know what is going on as the changes again are made network wide and sometimes targeted to perhaps improve the content site revenue, but at the same time that same change may lower domain parking revenue.

I don't know the internals but this is all based on what I learn and see, and read between the lines.

Another issue to look at is visitors. We are not responsible for increasing or maintaining visitors. Most portfolios if not all always drop in visitors as the domains become less relevant over time (if they are some mis type, expired traffic, etc). So if your visitors dropped 20%, it is expected for revenue to also drop.

The good news is that it is not as bad as it sounds. Mostly there are weeks that are bad, and then they eventually get back to being good, and it is an ongoing cycle that never ends.

I just added 2 new second tier providers which I think will help increase revenue. My mission is to continue to increase revenue. The more my users make, the more successful Bodis, and the happier I am.

I like to go to sleep at night knowing my users are happy and not complaining. And that is what gives me the most satisfaction. So I do what I can do make sure that is the case.

Any suggestions are welcome! :tu:

Matt - I'm sure everyone appreciates all your hard work on behalf of the Bodis community. I certainly do.

But my drop in revenue really seems to have started with the introduction of the new templates. CTR is down. If I could have the old templates back for all my domains I think CTR would improve.

i noticed that several of the bodis landers seem to load forever and evenso it shows a lander ( or part of ) - firefox still tries to continue to load and does not finish.
so i tied to visit the same side with a second machine and a different browser a minute later and it does to domainpark.

very simple question - do we and if yes get paid correctly and where does it show which system paid.( shows what income is from where - or do we have to blindly trust that everything is added ?)

i am just asking as i try to figure out why all of my domains seem to get blocked by google or why they all making only a fraction of what they made 2 months ago.

i do understand the up and down curve of the revenue - afterall i parked domains for the past 10 years or so ( first month when sedo started the paid parking )

but it just appears that it is a road of no return at the "bodis revenue slide" and i am trying to figure out what is going on.

Oct & Nov 2011 were my best parking months ever, in about 5 years of parking. 50% comes from Bodis.

I do have the same.
About a year ago bodis started to use new templates.
Since then I can't get out the hole I got into.
Today my revenue is less than year ago . Though today my portfolio almost two times bigger.
Sometimes I have 0 visitors but few clicks for some domains.
Sometimes the domain that never had visitors suddenly got 100 visitors and some revenue. All of it is very weird.



Also the 3rd and 4th of December were bad days. But you did recalculated traffic/revenue for these days. Why you don't recalculate the other days ? When recalculation have the place to be ?

Thank you Matt. Revenue is picking up. :tu: It is true, when revenues were high, I never complained... but I did express my joy in this thread! :D

I just added 2 new second tier providers which I think will help increase revenue. My mission is to continue to increase revenue. The more my users make, the more successful Bodis, and the happier I am.

I am feeling the revenue increase since you added it.

You are cool! :tu:

And that's why I will stick with Bodis! You do a fantastic job!!

To higher revenues! :)

Looks like I am hitting a jackpot. One domain earn $50 per day. Matt, I will add 100 more domains.

Perhaps 200. You said something about refund rate.

I then put some anti bot filter and it seems things are going well right since then?

Also all of my domains now use 302 so you can verify referrals. I hope everything is okay on your end and I'll just buy.

So all this time revenue from google ads are high because ads that are not supposed to show up on china show up in china too. I wonder if this leads to less chinese revenue but less banning of domains with chinese traffic.

All I want is stability. Profit margin is sufficient and I like the return. I want to catapult this biz into $2k-$3k per day.
I think it's a move to a better direction.

Yea Matt is awesome. If I try other parking it'll be because I don't want stuff on one basket.
