Pretty bad one of their biggest clients has to find this out here.

I could never open an account there, I loved there templates and I hear the payouts were higher than most......Any truth to what I'm saying?

They were great. Maybe they will stay great. Switching from a Yahoo feed to a Google feed might be disastrous.

Hey, Ron is fast, what can you say. I got an e-mail this morning, he probably got the same one? -- Congrats Ari and Larry! Well Done!

Why do you say that Fearless?

Why do you say that Fearless?

My experience has been overall a Yahoo feed outperforms a Google feed.

Would say that for Adult domains as well?

For non Adult, where do you suggest parking?.........I'm always testing new PPC providers!

If I can select the keywords, then Yahoo is slightly better.

The jury is still out. Check with me in a couple of weeks.

The landers design changed. Some of the landers look similar to Goldkey.

I noticed at least one of mine had a broken image.

I'm anxious to see what tomorrow's numbers look like.

 

[Fearless]

So far my CTR is down over 60%. They should have moved over the exact landers the way we had them set up.

 

[Raider]

Were any of you earning over 50% commission at SN or GK?.., it seems 50% is what most Overture providers payout.

 

[Steen]

I logged into GoldKey today, which I do maybe once per 2 months... the backend is exactly the same as the new SmartName. Can someone tell me what the difference is between GoldKey and SmartName now?

I am also unhappy with the switch to Google's feed. The CTR also seems to be down. No numbers yet, and I am sure they deserve a few days. Will be interesting to see how the revenue is affected.

IMO the Google upstream feed is better overall than Yahoo based on lots of extensive trials I have done with several places who use one or the other.

Another fine mess I got you in Steen.

Is anyone able to get stats? I can see clicks, CTR, etc, but revenue shows $0. My templates also look totally different - images that were nicely integrated with the template colors are now totally odd (e.g. an orange template is now blue and gray), and in some cases my images are completely missing.

SmartName have been good to me, so I'm willing to ride out the problem and see how the new feed performs, but I'm not sure why they didn't just leave the templates alone and slot in the new feed.

 

[NAK]

hope this not off topic, but can someone tell if the domain below uses goldkey or smartname?

roses-are-red.com

thank you

 

[Beachie]

I don't think that's SmartName.
