Is PPC Dead?

[ukguy]

A measly $0.02c per click on many of my ND parked domains
It's not only ND and I don't blame them as my Direct Adsensed pages sometimes get 0.02c a click as well.

Sometimes I think is it worth it? I mean some clicks (even directly adsensed) have gotten me UNDER 0.005c click (yes thats LESS than half a cent).

Recently three clicks got me 1c total!!!
I saw the other (long) thread about this - unfortunately after I started this one...

PPC is in a very unhealthy state - I don't think its as much Googles smartpricing as content vs search ads. Advertisers now pay peanuts for Content ads, a few years ago the pricing was the same for search/content ads. Ahhh the old days....

I think Namedrive, Sedo etc are in a precarious position, people will see the crappy PPC's and decide to go to minisites or affiliates or some other ways to monetize

Some traffic is considered as cheap traffic (like free stuff topics)
and paying 0,01 or 0,02 is fine.

Moving to other topics should make your earnings higher.

This is not easy if you plan to move to a very generic area,
but you can have good results if you move to a specific niche.

Good Luck.

I've had better luck with adsense and/or fabulous than sedo. I used to make a nice bit of green with sedo, but now I've moved most of my good domains elsewhere.
