Has the US Presidential election day affected your PPC income?

 

[firefly]

lol...what income!?

Think so...even uniques down for me today, at least from american traffic.

It was low all day......but I noticed it raced upwards later in the evening once it was clear Obama was going to win.

I'm down a little overall......nothing big......maybe 10 percent.

PPC is fine on my developed sites, maybe a little down. Parking income is completely gone.

Well, I'm pulling up stakes and getting out of the domain business. I think I just got here too late, and it's time to move on.

It is not too late Ms. Netmeg. :hehe:

I think the drop lists are drying up from a lack of good domains, good hand regs are getting really hard to find, but there are still some markets that have not been totally picked through yet that are going to explode.

I'm really hot on Brazil and India. I have done better in the Brazil market. There are still domains that can make you $1,000 + per year.

Cold-calling domain owners is an option also.

However, I would say someone with your experience and knowledge could do really well in other markets too

Oh I'll still continue with developing a few of them, as I have time for it, but for me to stay in, the domains would have to at least partly pay for themselves, and they don't earn anything at all anymore. Pretty much all of them are completely de-indexed. No point beating a dead horse. And I don't have anywhere time enough to do the sort of thing that L2 does for his. Nope, it was an interesting experiment, but I don't think it 's for me.

It doesn't mean I'm leaving *here* fer crysakes, it just means I'm getting out of the parking game, and I'm going to sell off most of what I have been holding on to except for what I may develop. (I don't have anything that domainers would be interested in, so I'm not going to sell them here) That's all. It's not a sudden decision, I've been watching what traffic/earnings I have drop steadily over time except for a few blips here and there, and I set myself a deadline, and I'm not going to keep beating my head against the wall over it.

Is the dip in PPC income a temporary thing? Or is it going to be long-term?

10 months ago, I was earning $5 a day from parking.
Today, with a bigger portfolio (roughly double the size from 10 months ago), I'm earning $7 a day from parking. I also have doubts if I'll ever reach the $100/day target I set for myself.

Development is the way to go. But development takes a lot of commitment, effort and time. But I have no doubt, it is the way to go.
