I have just had 3 accounts that I am involved with cancelled because of quality of traffic issues.
These accounts have been ticking alone nicely for many months with no problems, no questions of fraud, just that as for many people, a % of my traffic comes from China, and as one might assume, not all of them buy things.
I have a couple of serious problems with this.
1: It seems that this should be a problem that Yahoo sort out, if a user is clicking from China why still pay 20c/30c and even more for the click?
2: Is it a person parking domain names responsibility to guarantee results? I would have though they would just lower the payout of clciks from China to 0 or a few cents as Google seem to do.
4: If they are aware that this traffic does not "convert" then why have Parked/Yahoo been paying out on it for so long, and does this mean that the poor advertisers for the past 3-4 months have been getting shafted?
It would seem to me that the standard/fair thing to do is to filter out the clicks/visitors that are not suitable at the PPC provider or at Yahoo, it certainly is not something that I have any control over.
I am extremely dissapointed with the way this has happened and I feel it is impossible for a domain parker/investor to offer any sort of "quality assurance" on their traffic, my understanding is that it should be the add providers responsibilty to be checking the origin of visitors and deciding if the adds displayed clicked should be paid for.
If this is a Yahoo originated problem I would be very nervous about being on of their PPC Advertisers.
Cheers Donny and Parked, thanks for the good times.
I hope you decide to make it clearer to your customers that they need to guarantee the quality of their visitors in the future, rather than it being random type in traffic, which is what I always understood PPC parking to be!
