Beating a dead horse: Google's smart pricing @ namedrive?

[typist]

The average ppc on my namedrive domains - a lot of them are either european financial/banking or news related typos - went down from .22$ in May to .21$ in June, .20$ in July, and now the seven first days of August (updated) are at .17$.

This looks like an absolutely normal, random distribution, well within the boundaries of statistical (frequency) probability.

Nothing unusual here. I'm sure.

No, I'm not. I'm paranoid. What if this is a trend, driven by an evil conspiracy to reduce typo ppc by fart pricing? Am I going to be able to repay my mortgage?



Or is this simply continuingly sluggish summer demand driving down prices? Any thoughts?



(...and yes, of course, one should move away from typos...)

Hi,

I think it's just supply and demand at work here. My traffic is mostly European as well, and I make the most with NameDrive. My PPC is substantially higher then yours. I really don't know why, however, NameDrive did help me with keywords. Maybe you could ask ND to look at them for you?

Hope that helps

I appreciate your answer. Nice to know that there's no real downwards trend here...

Hi tpyo,

Downward trends are not really what I'd like to see across the board, but I do feel that this could be because of a summer dip. I'm not a big fan of summer as far as parking is concerned and financial domains to tend to have a dip as this is not really the season for getting a loan.
Looking forward to September/October and hopefully things will be tickety-boo.
If you have any concerns about your account, feel free to PM or email me and I'd be happy to have a look for you.

Ed
