Swicki revenue share is sharing more .

This is what I got from Swicki team this morning :

Hi Wissam,
I'd like to address your concern from the Digital Point forums that your
Adsense impressions count doesn't directly match 50% of your search
volume.

First, please be assured that if a bug did emerge in our revenue sharing
we would give it top priority.

We are aware of three factors that reduce the number of Adsense
impressions versus the Eurekster generated count of searches:
1. The Eurekster search stats include searches (page views) generated by
bots such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, and less well-behaved bots, which do
not generate adsense impressions. We are working on removing them from
our stats. The badly behaved (rogue) bots will take longer to remove.
2. Adsense geo-targets based on the user location, so clicks from
outside countries where Adsense shows results will not generate adsense
impressions.
3. Google are doing some experiments where they turn off the top-of-page
Adsense results for users who are not clicking on them (covered on
Searchenginewatch.com)

At most of the swickis we've looked at, all these factors add up to a
20% to 30% increase in the eurekster search stat number compared with
twice the number of adsense impressions, which would be expected if
these factors didn't exist.

We have specifically tested the 50/50 split in adsense impressions by
setting up a separate adsense channel on each, and the results came in
within 0.5% (in other words, the page impression share for the swicki
owner ranged from 49.5% to 50.5%.)

Your swicki appears to have a large variation - we have set-up a
specific adsense channel to track the number of eurekster adsense
account impressions for your swicki, and we will send that count to you
in the next day or two to compare with the counts you are seeing.

I'd also like to point out that any Swicki result page views are in
addition to your normal website page views, so there is still a net gain
to you in terms of total adsense impressions, at no cost. Also, swickis
can help drive traffic to your site, where you get 100% of the revenue
benefit.

One piece of recent news is that we are shortly going to introduce
community features which means that users and moderators will generate
content, not just submissions, ranking, and training/focus.

Please ask me any further questions you have, and please let the others
know on the forum. We'd be pleased to research any questions or issues
you have before you open discussion in the forum, so you have as much
info at the start as possible.
Best regards,
Gary
Eurekster Team
