I am not sure I am understand. There is already a breakdown of domain names on a daily if that is what you are asking.

There is no earnings per click in the report. As mentioned a few times before, it would be impossible to show that type of data. Not all revenue comes from clicks. Some revenue comes from redirects, impressions, and perhaps even other things in the future.

The most important piece of data should be your revenue. If we would manage to somehow show you revenue per click, I am unsure how that would help you with anything as you should be looking at your end of the day revenue anyway.

We only show RPM so you can get a sense how your domains are doing over time, otherwise we wouldn't have included that either.

It is best to keep things simple. We get many support questions asking what RPM is, so we don't want to clog up the reporting with unnecessary information that end of the day cannot help you in any way.

I am always open to suggestions.

The inquiry system is included in our upcoming templates.

Ok understand Matt and your right. How much money I'm making at each day and rpm. I didn't know on impressions and other factors.

My first day did 200 uniques and rpm seems low but judging by my daily income hopefully things will improve. Will test out things next few days. Getting some errors in system

Can you PM me the error? If it has to do with the Manage Domain Name, that should be resolved. It was an issue with our last update which didn't update a single file for some reason causing the error.

Please PM me and I will be sure to fix it. Also, please send me your domain names and maybe I can help you earn more.

Haven't been here in a while. Any progress on the new landers, the inquiry system, PPC provider or the big surprise (from last June)?

New landers are finished, we are just waiting to go live with our new provider before we launch new lander.

The PPC provider is the surprise. :red:

 

[verbster]

That's good news then. What's the timetable for going live with the new provider?

 

[Makis.TV]

I hope this new provider doesnt scare away our current revenue which is doing really fine

 

[matt_bodis]

I can PM you the estimate go live date if interested.

If anything, I'd be hoping for a clear improvement. But something like that is impossible to speculate.

The best thing is that our coverage should improve. If it doesn't improve immediately, it will improve over time. We will no longer be optimizing for 40 partners, we will be optimizing for 1, which is another big advantage.

 

[jeffoverman]

Daily revenue been increasing at bodis and brought over a second name over with tons of traffic. That's the good news.

The bad news, rpm still seems weak some but it has been slowly inching up.

The adult picture layout is not that impressive, haven't figured out where to do add one and how that works yet.

So Matt your saying your just using one feed going forward? What would happen if this new feed dosent do well on adult and the current feed is doing ok. Know you want one feed and makes things easier at your end, probably to early to worry about this but onspot brings up a valid question.

I still wish we could see epc each day then just just the bottom line. Maybe uniques, epc, then have other revenue category for pop ups, or whatever. Also will new set up and backend tell us where traffic is coming from like Sedo?

Can't wait see new feed, for the most part I'm happy with bodis and yes I'm making more daily income but rpm still soft imo for adult anyways. The international traffic is good at bodis too

Matt had responded quickly to my first email and great response time.

Thanks Jeff.

Just wanted to post an update here. Today I was going to update Bodis parked domains with some changes that were supposed to have taken place a few days ago which include: full IDN support, related keyword improvements, etc which should result in earnings improvements.

The update is scheduled to go live in an hour. Unfortunately, right now, seems we have 2 upstream provider outages at ONCE. Also, it is the weekend, middle of the night, and there is no way to get in touch with them to fix until mid Monday. Usually they reset around 3-4 am, so I am hoping in the next hour or two things auto-resolve themselves.

Having said that, I will be credit revenue for any extensive outages (over 20-30 minutes). I'd ask everyone to hang in there, our direct deal is scheduled to be live mid this week and there won't be anymore outages or issues concerning upstreams once live.


Edit: Looks like one of our providers is back online. Hopefully it'll be stable for just another few days.

 

[matt_bodis]

Update:

1. We now have full support for IDNs on our landing pages.

2. We have updated our keyword system and hopefully it'll show some improvements over the next few days.

Will that keyword system also improve image matching on names?

No, that one is coming with our new templates and it is seperate. Although, it is probably what I am second most excited about now.

PMing you.

I just saw that i can no longer see what is the revenue for each keyword that i m using
I m surprised and disappointed as this was one of the best features available, why did you let it go?

2. We have updated our keyword system and hopefully it'll show some improvements over the next few days.

1. Can you explain "full support" as I thought Bodis fully supported IDNs already?

2. What improvements should we be noticing? IE. different keywords, rotating keywords, etc?

It looks as though RPM is a bit off today. Will it take a few days for the keyword changes to fully implement?

Thx,

Yes, i m noticing big decrease regarding rpm and revenue for today, starting from 3 days ago.

 

[matt_bodis]

Are you sure? I am looking at the statistics today and are so far looking better than last Sunday and yesterday.

They are beating yesterday's performance by about 6%, and last Sunday's by 12%. So far, that would make the keyword system improvements rather successful.

You are seeing a decrease in RPM since yesterday or since last 3 days? Big difference. Our partners have been unstable for about 3 days not returning ads during hours of the day. Please see my posts above. This is why we are going live with a new direct provider this week and dumping all of our existing providers. There will be no more drops in RPM once our new provider is live.

Now to answer some of the specific questions:

Can you explain "full support" as I thought Bodis fully supported IDNs already?

Bodis always allowed you to add IDNs, but now, we actually convert the "xn--.." title on the landing page to the Unicode equivalent.

What improvements should we be noticing? IE. different keywords, rotating keywords, etc?

There shouldn't be any RPM drops due to improved keyword system. The keywords have not changed, but, we now optimize them based on visitor location. Some keywords may work well in United States, while other keywords in Spain. So our system now optimizes based on country, our next step will be introducing keywords for over 60 languages as well.

Keywords are rotated and optimized a lot quicker this time as well.\

I just saw that i can no longer see what is the revenue for each keyword that i m using

We quietly stripped this feature as it would be difficult to show performance for a keyword for different countries. Also, our goal is to completely remove the Domain Name Management page by the end of the year.

Once our keywords are capable of displaying in upto 60 languages, we will completely strip custom keywords as most members are using them for international domains. At that point, our system will do a better job on a whole deciding which keywords work best.

And for the records, we just got hit by same DDOS attack as a few days ago and serers were down for a few short minutes. I will be committing the rest of today to make sure there is a fail safe and it no longer happens from now on.
