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

roses-are-red.com

thank you

It's Name Media so it could be either one.

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.


In the dark with these stats is a bitch. I spent a lot of time optimizing and setting up templates. I'm not happy with this change.

I have to add that after the initial stats hiccups and trying to figure out the new reports, I really like the changes - there are some good features, like details of each click (keyword, geolocation, visitor quality etc). The new templates are great and my revenue has gone up (significantly on a couple of names). I've recommended a few changes they need to make, but all-in-all I think the new SmartName is good :)

My hiccups since the acquisition run deeper than figuring out the new reports (which, incidentally, I really like). My revenues pretty much dropped off a cliff post-acquisition, this really sucks. Anyone else have an experience to relate about revenue changes - good or bad?
