I've actually noticed that the revenue has been decreasing! ... it was at almost $0.50!

wiihideyouseek.com and
wiihide.com

... so maybe just low PPC for nintendo wii?

but surely it should be more than 2c a click!

pull up the domain stats in your account , then choose the regions in the drop down menu to see where the traffic is coming from to the domain , if its mostly asia then there ya go , .02 per click.

Nado,

I think this is the way Google sees the traffic. As I discussed with you last week by mail, Google wants traffic to be as natural as possible on the domains - i.e. type-in and existing search engine sources. However, it seems that 1003 of the 1058 views were coming from sources other than this - by the looks of things some sort of PTR source. Google sees this as nothing more than spam traffic and pays it very poorly. I appreciate that you've stopped this traffic since I wrote to you, but it remains to be seen how Google will pay for it now that the traffic has returned to 'normal'.

apart from the way google sees the traffic, i think it also matters from what region the bulk is coming from ie. the ppc for clicks from Asia is usually generally low when compared to the West eg USA.

ah, ok

I managed to find the source of that: http://digg.com/gaming/NEW_Nintendo_Wii_Game:_Wii_Hide,_you_Seek.#c1749714

... sux that I get punished for someone adding a link. What's the average PPC for "nintendo wii"?

There was 1 click from Latin America, 4 from N. America and 1 from Other.
