Let us know what you think!

Has anyone else seen their rpc drop dramatically over the last 3 days? i have been over 1.00 for months and the last 3 days were around 0.10

 

[Donny]

Let's see, 1 post, $1.00 per click. I'm going to assume you got caught doing something you weren't supposed to be doing.

I suppose some of the Voodoo users are clicking with low-end mobiles in order to not get caught.

Why people would jeopardize their account, their domains - which are their assets(!), for a few extra cents or maybe even a $1, is beyond me. Getting their accounts terminated is one thing, having their domains faillisted or even blacklisted is another. Once blacklisted, it will be much harder to sell that asset off because the buyer wont be able to monetize it either!

wrong subject.

Some parking domains have website favicon before links in Sponsored Listings, but some others just show default favicon (organge forward symbol ">>" )? What it mean?

It's our upstream provider trying different tests to make more money per visitor.

It's depend on domain age, traffic or something else?

If I knew I could tell you. But I don't.

Hi @Donny ,

I must say that Voodoo is doing an awesome job about monetizing the traffic. However I strongly feel certain lack of in-depth analysis that are available through Google Analytics.

So my suggestion is: How about enabling users put a single line of Google Analytics code, or even the ID to their portfolio? First, it will put a lot of pressure off from your shoulder about improving the reporting features and you can simply put your focus on better monetization. I, and hopefully you too, are aware of a lot of domainers who just put their domains on simple page only to further dig about their traffic. With this move, you can attract that big chunk of users and their traffic. You will also have the first mover advantage (Hopefully - as DOPA has already implemented it and Matt too is thinking about implementing it).

If you are concerned about people wondering about the difference between internal reports and GA reports, you can put a big disclaimer that it may differ due to reporting technology. Alternatively, you can start a trial run with only a few pros (Like for users with x amount of traffic, or x number of domains in their portfolio).

What do you guys think?

I think it is a great idea!
I do not understand why the feeds are always negative when they have to provide information or option to add more transparency with the portfolio owners..

 

[decades80]

I believe Google is afraid that ""arbitrage people"" would misuse the info. IMO.

 

[Donny]

Yes. That is the biggest issue. Is not normal people being able to find out stuff, it's abusers finding out information.

Abusers can and still play with the help of parking company's official numbers. As long as they get revenue numbers, the possibility is always there. So Adding more transparency will help the needful users more than the abusers IMHO.

Donny

I agree more with webm, i know that abusers could use it to get advantage also do not provide any info (neither in private for experienced customer) is like if my boss do not provide my working tool just because he has fear that I can steal those or use 4 non working needs.
All this just to improve things and not to complain
