PPC rates going wrong direction.

[harkster]

Not long ago I seldom saw less than $0.05 and then many $0.03 down to a lot of $0.01.
Today an all time low 17 uniques, 8 clicks and revenue $0.00 -- guess next they will be charging me for the clicks.

There are still some $0.xx thru $x.xx but far fewer than just a few months ago.

for this month my PPC earnings were going up fast until around the 22nd of the month. Then for unknown reasons it just began to stall.
cant figure it out.

...I'm averaging 5 Times as much using YPN .... and thats no exaggeration !

Most people who are in YPN beta now are making great money, especially when compared to "G". But u know that earnings will drop when the program graduates from beta.

Many folks (myself included) are hoping that the YPN beta lasts as long as G's Gmail beta has, so that the hot earnings keep on flowing!

I think the majority of lower payouts can all be traced back to Good Old "Google". Their payouts are a complete joke now but you can Bet the house that the amount of money they are taking in hasn't taken a dip ..... There has never been a large difference between the PPC bids on Overture and Google - But the payouts can not be compared , I'm averaging 5 Times as much using YPN .... and thats no exaggeration !

Thats because Google is allowing the advertisers to report back their sales. As I said which way do you think the reporting will be? I can see the boardroom meeting now.

Mr. CEO: "Campaign manager we need to cut spending and increase sales."
Mr. Manager: "Yes sir, I'll get right on that. Let me fire over this report to google."

You trade one fraud for another. Same thing goes on the the PPA market. Atleast PPC is determined by the middlleman. They can determine whether or not it was an actual real visitor and can determine whether or not that visitor was delivered to it's destination. It's not hard to tell whos bucking the system. All you have to do is watch the activity. You see threads from Google feezing accounts all the time and thats because of suspicious activity.

The are always going to be those who wish to cheat any system. But, on a PPA model the only way you can prove it's being done is to buy a product, take screen shots, etc on every single advertiser. And then you have to go through trying to figure out who it was who didnt report. If you can figure that out you have to get your money from that person by legal action if they don't admit to doing it which they would never do. So they know the odds are in their favor.
