Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

If you don't know how to use the XML feed, then I really can't explain it. The RSS option only requires a RSS reader of some type. If you are using Microsoft Outlook it already has a reader built into it and I think Thunderbird does as well.

Any comments on the post? Is paid search from 2nd tier search engines forbidden?

Just looking at yesterday's estimate - for me anyway average RPM is down %40 and
average RPC down %25. This is disturbing because my final numbers usually always
are below the estimate.

Anyone else notice the same thing?

 

[panterrasbox]

OK, now I must say I am a little surprised. CTR is wayyy down today, but I have know idea why. A couple of days ago I eliminated all my custom content and set my page back to basic; then, the CTR jumped back up to normal. But now, though I have not changed anything, CTR has dropped by 45% for no apparent reason (that is worse than any drop during my experimentations). Anyone else seeing anything out of the usual?

I think this day will be known as Black Friday!

Wish I had your domains then

My revenue estimate is down 42% from what the final numbers have been
for the last couple of weeks. CTR for most domains down bigtime. Trend continues bad for today. Had to pause some arb campaigns.

I could understand if the RPC drop was just a bit or for just some domains but
it's down right across the board.

I have domains parked at 4-5 different places and clicks are down on all of them. Relax....good weather is coming.

I usually have good Fridays, but so far today its looking really miserable. Saturdays and sundays are usually slow for me.

Has anyone's TQ Score changed this week?

Are they down that much and was it all of a sudden - like overnight?
