Just a heads up. I noticed that there was quite a variance between the click rates of 2 very similar names that are using the same keywords for optization, except that one is in the singular keyword form and recieves 8x that of the plural. (Optimization Keywords- Not sng/pl form of domain name.) It's hard to tell if the pl/sng factor is accounting for this difference. The links on the landing page are substantially different, but I'm not sure to what extent this is a pl/sng factor or a result of the keyword variation, within the domain name, itself. Maybe someone could shed some light on this. (I have, occasionally, noticed a difference in landing pages w/ the same name- different tld, when checking what keyword I want for optimization.)
So, to my main point. I went to change the plural to the, (potentially better), revenue producing singular form and, lo and behold, although the Overview page was showing the plural, my parking optimiztion page was showing that it had been optimized in the singular form and had the green box to prove it. So, if your own CP is showing different settings, how do you know which form is being used and *if* it had indeed been optimized w/ the singular form, how did it get switched, (and why?), to the plural and by whom?
Incidentally, I've also noticed other small, but irritating changes, (ie words that I positively know I had optimized and had placed in specific search categories, showing up in strange and unrelated categories)- changes that occured following the institutution of the new name management interface. Anyone else run across these sorts of discrepencies? Any db experts out there that might know how this might have happenned while revamping their db for the new user CP?
