50% difference between estimated and final yesterday

[Poker]

Final rev for me was cut 50% from the estimated on 2009-03-10...50% is harsh and i think the worst I have seen at parked...

Read this then.

I had one last week that went from $1.25 to..

Wait for it..

Wait for it..

$0.01.....

Those "estimated" values can be pesky at times but you never seem to see people complaining when the estimates go up (I've seen this a few times).

Lord son, I got a bill from Parked saying I owe them.

If they were adjusted up as often as they were down I wouldn't be talking about it.

BTW, I'm talking estimate and final for the entire day.

Actually this is being worked on now. The finalized stats included the wrong international numbers. If you wait about 30-60 minutes the finalized numbers will be updated with the right international information.

[tonyfloyd]

I actually put the breaks on a deal this week because of this down turn. I had a steady earner that suddenly for whatever reason tanked the last 6 days, I called off the deal as I am just that nice But any way so you are saying we should see corrections tonight, if so for how many days back? Thanks

todays 50% is back now.

It's not just a very short term or daily thing but seems to be a longer term downward trend in revenue, at least over past few weeks with revenue looking dismal and little sign of improvement.

In addition, my TQ Score keeps on looking weak such as today's low 3 but I happen to know for a fact my real traffic quality is much better than a 3 and also well targeted and quite good overall and should be somewhere in 6 to 10 area imo. In fact, last year there were extended times when my TQ was actually a 10.

Everyone I know is moving their generic traffic domains to parked and doing just fine. Have you tried playing with the keywords & further optimizing your domains bro? Are they generics or blocked typos?

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

I saw no bump in revenue yesterday a all or retro bump.

To me it looks like visits are down and the ppc is down again nearly 50%. Hope it turns around soon, could just be one of those things

 

[Gerry]

todays 50% is back now.

It looks like that amount was taken out of my account to bring you back up to par.

 

[Poker]

LOL Doc...the 50% I was referring to was related to what Donny said "wrong international numbers".

 

[Donny Simonton]

What happened yesterday was Yahoo didn't include all of the countries when they provided us with the finalized data. So we had to go back and add te additional ones. There was no possible way for anybody to go lower after we added 8 extra countries/markets.

looking at it again...looks like 40% is back not 50%...but that's par for the course.

 

[David G]

Things are looking really weak with my stats this year and especially recently. Unfortunately, may be forced to move some names elsehwhere to see if they can do better very soon because what with the rescession and area home price declines of more than 50% things are looking extremely bleak and depressing.

 

[Theo]

I have a few concerns that I will address in due time.

 

[gingeman]

I am losing my faith in parked. My account manager changed and my rev has tanked. Going to have to move some of my names out soon, which is upsetting as parked is such a great, user-friendly system. :sigh2:

Edit :- for the record

RPM is down by 50% this year compared to last. Now at just $15.33

Names are spread across various niches, including strong dot com generics like "EventSecurity" and "AccessTechnology" as well as some lesser names like 3 character .coms etc

Focus, is it possible you may receive some favourable percentages at parked seeing as you have such a close relationship? I know domainsponsor do that...
